Karl Gustav von Baggehufwudt (Russian: Карл Фёдорович Баггову́т, romanized: Karl Fyodorovich Baggovut; Swedish: Carl Gustaf Baggehufvudt; 27 September [O.S. 16 September] 1761 – 18 October [O.S. 06 October] 1812) was a lieutenant general of the Russian Empire who took part both in Napoleonic Wars and Finnish War. His family was originally Norwegian, but had moved to Sweden in the 16th century, then to Estonia in the 17th century.

He was seen as one of the bravest Russian generals and, on his death at the Battle of Tarutino (or Winkowo), Alexander I of Russia wrote to his widow, "I have lost a brave commander, useful to the fatherland".^[4]
