Oleksandr Mykolayovych Peklushenko (Ukrainian: Пеклушенко Олександр Миколайович; 29 August 1954, Zaporizhzhia – 12 March 2015, Soniachne, Zaporizhzhia Raion) was a Ukrainian politician and public figure. He served as a member of the Verkhovna Rada during its IV, V, and VI convocations, and was the chairman of Zaporizhzhia Regional State Administration from 2011–2014. Peklushenko was also a member of the Political Council of the Party of Regions.
On 12 March 2015 Peklushenko was found dead in his house in the village of Sonyachne, located near Zaporizhzhia. He had suffered a gunshot wound to the neck. Authorities initially suggested suicide as the cause of death, but other possibilities including murder, were under investigation. His death occurred during a period when five other former officials serving former Ukrainian President (until the 2014 Ukrainian Revolution) Viktor Yanukovych also died in mysterious circumstances in the 6 weeks before his death.[1]
In 2003, he received the Honorary Diploma of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.
