Alexey Gordeyevich Selivanov (Russian: Алексей Гордеевич Селиванов; 17 March 1900 – 4 June 1949) was a Red Army lieutenant general who held division and corps command during World War II.
Selivanov served in the Russian Civil War as an artilleryman and cavalry cadet, and held command and staff positions with cavalry units during the interwar period. A division chief of staff when Operation Barbarossa began, he commanded the 23rd Cavalry Division in the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran a few months later. Selivanov served an army deputy commander in the Battle of the Caucasus and was appointed commander of the new 5th Guards Cavalry Corps in late 1942. He led the corps in the final stages of the Battle of the Caucasus, the Donbass Strategic Offensive, and the Uman–Botoșani Offensive, among other operations, but gave up command due to his tuberculosis in early 1944. Selivanov never returned to active duty and died of the disease several years later.
