Leonid Viktorovich Korotkov (Russian: Леонид Викторович Коротков, born January 19, 1965) was the governor of Amur Oblast in the Russian Far East. He was born in Zavitinsk. He graduated from Far Eastern University in 1987. He was a member of the Communist Party of Russia. He became governor in 2001, when he defeated the incumbent Anatoly Belogenov in a runoff. He had been a distant second with only 20% of the vote in the first round, but the incumbent got less than 50% of the vote so Korotkov could participate in the runoff, which he narrowly won.
