Vladimir Volkov (Serbian Cyrillic: Владимир Волков; born 6 June 1986) is a Montenegrin footballer who plays for Radnički Niš and the Montenegrin national team.
Born in Serbian capital Belgrade, back then still Yugoslav capital, Volkov started playing football in youth categories of FK Radnički Beograd when he was seven years old. Later, already as a senior, he played for FK BSK Borča from 2006 to early 2008, when he was moved to Portimonense. After that, Volkov spent the first part of the 2008–09 season with OFK Beograd, before moving to Moldovan champions FC Sheriff in 2009.
Volkov was transferred to FK Partizan before the end of the 2010–11 season, signing a three-year contract on 14 May 2011. He quickly established himself as first choice of coaches Aleksandar Stanojević and Avram Grant mostly because of his good games in qualification stages of 2011–12 UEFA Champions League.
In summer 2015, Volkov signed a two-year deal with Belgian side KV Mechelen. He was officially presented the following day and was given the number 3 shirt.
On 30 January 2016 he was loaned to Lech Poznań on a half-year deal.
On 13 January 2017, Volkov signed with Radnički Niš. The official presentation was on January 17 at club media-center, where Volkov, Anid Travančić and Ryota Noma were presented as the first signings of the winter-break and crucial reinforcements of Radnički for the second-half of the 2016–17 Serbian SuperLiga.
