Viktar Aliaksandravich Vabishchevich (Belarusian: Віктар Аляксандравіч Вабішчэвіч; born March 22, 1989) is a Belarusian swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events.^[1] He posted a Belarusian record time of 28.03 seconds in the prelims of the men's 50 m breaststroke at the 2012 European Aquatics Championships in Debrecen, Hungary.^[2] He also won a bronze medal in the same event at the 2007 European Junior Swimming Championships in Antwerp, Belgium, clocking at 28.62 seconds.^[3]

Vabishchevich competed for Belarus in two swimming events at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

Swimming the breaststroke leg, Vabishchevich recorded a split in 1:01.89, but the Belarusian team had to settle for last place with a final time of 3:39.39.^[6]
