Sheriff (in Cyrillic: Шериф) is the second-largest company based in Transnistria.

It owns a chain of petrol stations, a chain of supermarkets, a TV channel, a publishing house, a construction company, a Mercedes-Benz dealer, an advertising agency, a spirits factory, two bread factories, a mobile phone network, the football club FC Sheriff Tiraspol and its newly built Sheriff Stadium at an estimated cost of $200 million including a five-star hotel still under construction.

The name came from the two founders of the company, the Ukrainian-Transnistrian CEO and president Viktor Gushan and Russo-Transnistrian Ilya Kazmaly, who were previously Soviet special services officers.

The company has close ties with the political power of Transnistria, with two of its employees being members of parliament for Renewal, the party which have the majority in Transnistrian Supreme Soviet. As shown in an article from Komersant, Sheriff supported the Smirnov regime any way it could and the received reduction on taxes and import duties to the customs service, run by Smirnov's son Vladimir.
