Yevhen Mefodiyovych Kucherevskyi (Ukrainian: Євген Мефодiйoвич Кучеревський, Russian: Евгений Мефодьевич Кучеревский; 6 August 1941 – 26 August 2006) was a Ukrainian football coach. He is most famous for his spells managing Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, which, under his helm, won the Soviet Championship in 1988, took 2nd place twice in 1987 and 1989, as well as the USSR Cup in 1989. Dnipro's recent success in the first half of the 2000s is mostly attributed to his coaching as well.

On 26 August 2006, Kucherevskyi's Mercedes-Benz suffered a head-on collision with a KAMAZ truck. He died an hour and half later in a hospital, without regaining consciousness.

Upon Kucherevskyi's funeral, Dnipropetrovsk mayor Ivan Kulichenko, announced a plan to name one of the city streets in his honor.
