Eastern Economic Forum (Russian: Восточный экономический форум or ВЭФ) is an international forum held each year in Vladivostok, Russia, for the purpose of encouraging foreign investment in the Russian Far East.

With the exception of 2020, the forum has been held in September of each year since 2015. The 2020 forum was cancelled due to the COVID pandemic. The Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok, Russia has been the venue of the forum since its inception.
