Andrey Mitrofanovich Kizhevatov (Russian: Андрей Митрофанович Кижеватов; 1907–1941) was a Soviet border guard commander, one of the leaders of the Defense of Brest Fortress during Operation Barbarossa, head of the 9th frontier post of the 17th Brest border detachment of the People’s Commissariat of Internal Affairs (NKVD).

In 1939, Kizhevatov was promoted to junior lieutenant, and in September that same year he was appointed acting chief of the frontier post at Brest.

In the following days, he continued, along with Potapov, to lead the defense of the barracks of the 333rd Regiment and the Terespol Gate.

On June 29, when the ammunition was almost spent, it was decided to make the last desperate attempt to break through.
