Evgraf-Fedorov-Strasse in Schenefeld near Hamburg

The geological museum of the city of Krasnoturjinsk in the Sverdlovsk region was named after Fyodorov . Fyodorov himself founded it in 1894 when he worked as a mining engineer in the Turjinskije Rudniki (Turja mines) from 1894 to 1899. The museum was one of the first of its kind in Russia.

The 1965 by Alexander Alexandrowitsch Kucharenko et al. The first mineral described was given the name Fedorite in honor of Fyodorov .
On the premises of the international X-ray laser research facility European XFEL in Schenefeld near Hamburg, a street was named after him.
