Viktor Petrovich Taranovsky (Russian: Ви́ктор Петро́вич Тарано́вский) (12 October 1864 – 7 January 1937) was a Russian Major General of the First World War. He served in the Lithuanian Life Guards Regiment of the Russian Imperial Guard and from 1916 commanded the Russian division on the Macedonian front. After the October Revolution his division was largely interned, though some volunteered to fight on the French front. Taranovsky remained in France as a white émigré serving on veterans committees and as assistant rector at the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Paris.
