Vyacheslav, also transliterated Viacheslav or Viatcheslav (Template:Lang-ru [vʲɪtɕɪˈslaf]; Template:Lang-uk [u̯jɐtʃeˈslɑu̯]), is a Russian and Ukrainian masculine given name. It is the equivalent of the Belarusian Вячаслаў/Вацлаў (transliterated Viačasłaŭ/Vacłaŭ), Croatian Vjenceslav, Czech Václav and Polish Wacław and Wieńczysław, which is Latinised as Wenceslaus.

It is a Slavic dithematic name (that is, composed of two lexemes) derived from the Slavic words vyache, "great(er)", and slava, "glory, fame". A common short form is Slava.
