Orest "The Big O"[1] Meleschuk (born April 11, 1940 in St. Boniface, Manitoba, Canada) is a former Canadian curler. He was one of Manitoba's best curlers during the 1960s and 70's and has won a number of championships and major bonspiels. His greatest curling triumph came in 1972 when he won the Manitoba, Canadian and World Championships of curling.

Meleschuk was involved in the very first Battle of the Sexes curling match, in which he lost to Vera Pezer's team.[2]
