Yefimiya Vladimirovna (Russian: Евфимия Владимировна), known as Euphemia of Kiev (c1095–4 April 1139) was Queen Consort of Hungary by marriage to Coloman, King of Hungary.
Yefimiya was the daughter of Grand Prince Vladimir II Monomakh of Kiev and his second wife, Yefimiya (c1078-1107). She was married to King Coloman of Hungary around 1112. However, her husband, who had been suffering from a serious disease, caught her in adultery and immediately sent her back to Kiev. Yefimiya gave birth to her son, Boris, in her father's court, but the son was never recognised by King Coloman, King of Hungary. Afterwards, she lived in a monastery near Kiev till her death.
