Valentyn Ostapovych Rechmedin (Ukrainian: Валентин Остапович Речмедін), February 12 1916 – June 6 1986 was a Ukrainian journalist and writer.
He grew up in the village of Andrushivka in present Pohrebyshchenskyi Raion, Vinnytsia Oblast, where his father was a teacher.
After studies at Uman cooperative technical college (Уманський кооперативний технікум) he started his career as a journalist in 1934 at Molodyi Bilshovyk (Молодий Бiльшовик) in Vinnytsia. After the Soviet occupation of eastern Poland in the autumn of 1939 he started to work at Vilna Ukraïna (Вільна Україна) and later at Leninska Molod (Ленінска Молодь) in Lviv.
Valentyn remained in Ukraine also after the German invasion of the Soviet union in the summer of 1941. Later he became active in the Soviet partisan movement in the Vinnytsia area. In his partisan group he edited its Partyzanska Pravda. After the war he was awarded the Order of the Red Star.
After World War II he moved to Kyiv where he worked at the newspapers Radianska Ukraïna, Literaturna Ukraïna (as vice executive editor) and Kultura i zhyttia (as executive editor) and the magazine Vitchyzna (as vice executive editor).
Valentyn started to write novels after the war. The stories were often based on his own experiences during the war. He always wrote in the Ukrainian language, but several books have been translated into Russian.
