Stepan Lenkavskyi (Ukrainian: Степа́н Ленка́вський; 6 July 1904 – 30 October 1977) was a Ukrainian nationalist politician who served as the second leader of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (Banderite) from 1959 to 1968. Lenkavskyi was a follower of Ukrainian nationalism from an early age, and was a founding member of the OUN. He wrote The Decalogue of a Ukrainian Nationalist and co-wrote the Act of restoration of the Ukrainian state before being imprisoned by the Gestapo and at one point being sent to Auschwitz concentration camp. After the death of Stepan Bandera, he served as head of the OUN (B) before resigning and continuing to serve as a writer for the organisation's organs.
