Ahatanhel Yukhymovych Krymsky (Ukrainian: Агатангел Юхимович Кримський, Russian: Агафа́нгел Ефи́мович Кры́мский, romanized: Agafangel Yefimovich Krymsky; Crimean Tatar: Agatangel Krımskiy; 15 January [O.S. 3 January] 1871 – 25 January 1942) was a Ukrainian Orientalist, linguist, polyglot (knowing up to 35 languages), literary scholar, folklorist, writer, and translator. He was one of the founders of the All-Ukrainian Academy of Sciences (VUAN) in 1918 and a full member of it and the Shevchenko Scientific Society from 1903. Although Krymsky was not ethnically Ukrainian, he described himself as a "Ukrainophile". In 1941, he was arrested by the Soviet authorities as "Ukrainian nationalist," an "ideologist of Ukrainian nationalists", and a "head of nationalistic underground". He was convicted in "Anti-Soviet nationalistic activities" and imprisoned in Kustanay General Prison No.7 (today near Kostanay, Kazakhstan).
