Volodymyr Stepanovych Fedynyshnets (1945 - 2018) was a Ukrainian writer and poet.
Fedynyshnets graduated from the Philological Faculty of Uzhhorod State University. He wrote in Ukrainian and Russian.
Since 1989, he supported the ideology of "Carpatho-Rusynism". He was co-founder of the "Society of Carpathian Ruthenians", which in 1990 petitioned for the granting of sovereignty to the Transcarpathian region.
The proposal to name one of the streets of Uzhgorod in honor of Fedynyshnets caused protests from Ukrainian patriots.
