Kamil Anvarovich Ibragimov (Russian: Камиль Анварович Ибрагимов; born 13 August 1993) is a Russian sabre fencer, winning a team gold medal in the 2013 World Fencing Championships and bronze medal in 2014 European Fencing Championships.

Ibragimov is the son of foil fencers Anvar Ibragimov and Olga Velichko. He spent his childhood rubbing shoulders with champions such as four-time Olympic champion Stanislav Pozdnyakov, known to him as "Uncle Stas". He began fencing at the age of seven under the guidance of 1992 Olympic champion Aleksandr Shirshov, who remains his personal coach.

Ibragimov is married to former sabre fencer Anna German. He was educated at the Smolensk State Academy of Physical Culture, Sports and Tourism.

Ibragimov won in 2009 the Cadets World Fencing Championships in Belfast. In the same time, he began competing in a few senior events. In 2010 he won the 2010 Junior European Championships in Athens. The year after, he won the U23 European Championships at Kazan both in the individual and in the team event.

Amongst seniors, he made his breakthrough during the 2012–13 season, when he climbed his first World Cup podium with a gold medal in the Glaive d'Asparoukh after defeating Romania's Tiberiu Dolniceanu in the final. That same year, he won the Junior World Championship in Poreč and the 2013 Summer Universiade in Kazan. At the World Championships in Budapest, he was eliminated in the second round by Max Hartung of Germany. In the team event, where Ibragimov stood as reserve, Russia won the gold medal after prevailing over Romania in the final. Ibragimov finished the season No.15 in FIE world rankings.
