Raisa Vasylivna Bogatyrova (Ukrainian: Раїса Василівна Богатирьова; Russian: Раиса Васильевна Богатырёва) (born on January 6, 1953) is a Ukrainian politician and former Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine and Minister of Health and former Secretary of National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine. In the past, Bogatyrova served as a People's Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada (parliament) for the Communist, Christian Democratic Party of Ukraine and more recently the Party of Regions.

In October 2014 Bogatyrova was put on its wanted list by Ukrainian authorities as a suspect of large-scale embezzlement of state budget funds. According to the Ukrainian government she has since repaid government funds that had been allegedly misappropriated.

According to the Ukrainian magazine Bogatyrova has placed among the top 10 most influential women in Ukraine since 2005-2010 (five years). She was recognized as the second most influential woman in 2006-2008 after Yulia Tymoshenko.

Bogatyrova was born on January 6, 1953 in the town of Bakal, Chelyabinsk Oblast, of the Russian SFSR (then the Soviet Union) to family of workers. She was born on the day of the Christmas Eve according to the Eastern Orthodox Christianity. Her father is Vasyl Petrovych Laktionov (1912–1985) and mother - Hanna Markivna Laktionova (born 1918). Raisa has two older sisters Valentyna and Vira. On her website she claims that her family is from village of Protopopivka in Kharkiv Oblast. Bohatyriova also stated that her ancestors are from the Sloboda Ukraine.
