Chingiz Ildyrym oglu Sultanov (Azerbaijani: Çingiz İldırım oğlu Sultanov) (10 July 1890 – 27 July 1941) better known as Chingiz Ildyrym, was an Azerbaijani Bolshevik revolutionary, innovator and the first People's Commissar for Military and Naval Affairs of Azerbaijan after the Sovietization of Azerbaijan.

[1] Ildyrym was born to the family of a landowner in Qubadli settlement of Zangezur uyezd of Elisabethpol Governorate (present day Azerbaijan) on 10 July 1890.

Involved in public protests after Russia's February Revolution, he took a part in the gathering to meet Vladimir Lenin returning from Finland at Saint Peterburg railway station on 3 April 1917.

During the existence of Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, Ildyrym served as Deputy Commander of Azerbaijani Navy and chief of the harbor under Musavat's leadership although he was a Bolshevik.

[2] On 27 April, when the 11th Red Army was invading Baku, Ildyrym played an important role in overthrowing the ADR government.

Once the center of Baku was taken, the Bolsheviks led by Ildyrym surrounded the National Assembly of Azerbaijan with artillery and presented an ultimatum to Musavat government.

On early morning hours of 28 April 1920, after debates in the parliament, the government agreed to terms of the Bolsheviks and ADR ceased to exit.
