Raisa Soltamuradovna Akhmatova (Chechen: Раиса Солтамурадовна Ахматова) (December 13, 1928 – 1992) is an internationally recognized Chechen poet.

Akhmatova is known for writing poem collections such as: Native Republic (1958), Strike me in the Face, Wind (1959), Im coming to You (1960), Difficult Love (1963), and Revelation (1964)
