Igor Konstantinovich Sakharov (Russian: Игорь Константинович Сахаров; 7 August 1912 – 1977) was a Russian émigré and collaborator with Nazi Germany during World War II. A foreign volunteer for the Nationalist faction in the Spanish Civil War, he later became one of the leaders of the collaborationist Russian National People's Army (RNNA) unit. Following the dissolution of the RNNA, he joined the Russian Liberation Army, partaking in the Prague uprising. After the war, he fled to Australia, where he died in a car crash.
