Kantemirovka (; earlier Konstantinovka, ) is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) in Kantemirovsky District of Voronezh Oblast, Russia. Population:
It was founded in the 18th century, and is named after its landowners Constantin Cantemir and his son Dimitrie Cantemir, members of the former ruling family of Moldavia. They sided with Peter the Great's army to free their land from the Ottoman Empire, and when the Russian side lost, moved to Russia and were included in Russian nobility. Dimitrie was a philosopher and writer, as well as a musician, and his son Antioch a prominent Russian author. In the 19th century the village was the center of Konstantinovskaya volost, Bogucharsky Uyezd, Voronezh Governorate.
