Vladimir Konstantinovich Nemshilov (Russian: Владимир Константинович Немшилов; born 24 November 1948) is a retired Soviet swimmer. He won a bronze medal in the 4×100 m medley relay and finished fourth in the 100 m butterfly at the 1968 Summer Olympics,[1] setting a new European record (US swimmers took the first three places).[2] He won two bronze medals in the same events at the 1970 European Aquatics Championships.[3] In 1969, he set a European record in the 100 m butterfly event. During his career he won nine national titles, in the 100 m (1968–1971, 1973, 1974) and 200 m (1973) butterfly and 4×100 m medley relay events (1974, 1975),[4] and set four national records.[2]

Since the introduction of masters championships in the Soviet Union he competes in this category. He won the world championships in 1992 and European championships in 1995 in the 50 m butterfly, and finished second in the 100 m butterfly in 1995.[2]

He lives in Moscow where he works as a swimming coach.[4] He regularly visits his mother and elder sister Nina in Sochi, the city where he was born and raised.[5] Since 2008, the local swimming championships carry his name. In 2010, they were attended by four former Olympians, and one of them, Alex Popov, even took part in a swimming event.[6]
