Vadim Nikolayevich Podbelsky (Russian: Вади́м Никола́евич Подбе́льский; November 1887 – February 25, 1920) was a Russian revolutionary and Bolshevik politician following the Russian Revolution.

Born in Yakutia in 1887 to a family of exiled revolutionaries, Podbelsky joined the Bolshevik faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party in 1905. During the 1905 uprising he was involved in anti-government demonstrations and meetings. Fearing arrest, Podbelsky fled to France in 1906.

After the October Revolution, he served as the head of the Moscow City Committee.

Vadim Podbelsky died on February 25, 1920, in Moscow and was buried in Mass Grave No. 4 of the Kremlin Wall Necropolis. Former station Ulitsa Podbelskogo on the Moscow Metro was named in his honour.
