Myron Bohdanovych Markevych (Ukrainian: Миро́н Богда́нович Марке́вич; born February 1, 1951 in Vynnyky, Lviv oblast, Ukrainian SSR) is a former football midfielder.

He worked as a head coach of Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in the Ukrainian Premier League and a head coach of the Ukrainian national football team. He holds the record for coaching the most matches (500 as on August 15, 2011) in the Ukrainian Premier League.

As a midfielder used to play for FC Karpaty Lviv (reserves), SCA Lviv, FC Spartak Ordzhinikidze, and FC Torpedo Lutsk.

He was graduated from the Institute of Physical Education (Lviv) and the Supreme school of coaches in Moscow in 1983. Coached a wide variety of teams, devoting most of his career to FC Karpaty Lviv. Currently he is the coach of FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk.

Markevych was appointed head coach of Ukraine's national football team early February 2010, but resigned late August 2010. On 21 August 2010 the Football Federation of Ukraine (FFU) received by fax a petition of Markevych for his resignation. The legal department of FFU, however, stated that such a document can only be submitted in its original form and the fax copy can not really be accepted. However, his resignation was accepted and he was replaced by Yuriy Kalitvintsev as caretaker manager.
