Pavel Stepanovich Prokkonen (Russian: Па́вел Степа́нович Про́кконен; 16 July 1909 – 18 July 1979), born Prokofiev (Russian: Проко́фьев), was a Karelian Soviet politician. He was appointed as the Chairman of the Council of the People's Commissars of the Karelo-Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic (1940–1947) and Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Karelo-Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic (1950–1956) ("prime minister" of the Republic). Prokkonen was also the Minister of Karelian Affairs for the Finnish Democratic Republic during the Winter War in 1940 (under the name Paavo Prokkonen)

After the Karelo-Finnish SSR was incorporated into the Russian SFSR as the Karelian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic in 1956, Prokkonen was the Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Karelian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (1956–1979).

Pavel Prokkonen was awarded the Order of Lenin twice, the Order of the Patriotic War second class once, the Order of the Red Banner of Labour twice, and the Order of the Badge of Honour twice.[citation needed]
