Boris Pavlovich Lisunov (Russian: Борис Павлович Лисунов; 19 August 1898 – 3 November 1946) was a Soviet aerospace engineer.

In 1918 he graduated from the Saratov secondary school #2 and went to Moscow to study at the Zhukovsky Air Force Engineering Academy, where he made friends with another prominent Russian aircraft designer, Sergey Ilyushin.

From 1926, he served as an engineer-mechanic to an aviation squadron in the Soviet Air Force, rising to the position of chief engineer at Aircraft Factory No.

[2] In September 1941 as the Nazis were approaching Moscow, Lisunov managed to swiftly evacuate the aircraft plant to the safe location that was chosen to be Tashkent, capital of the Uzbek SSR.

Soon the newly-established aircraft plant, later known as Tashkent Aviation Production Association, started to contribute to the Soviet war effort with the domestically-made Li-2s.
