Dmitry Petrovich Monakhov (Russian: Дми́трий Петро́вич Мона́хов; 3 May 1900 – 18 February 1944) was a Red Army major general who held division and corps command before being killed in World War II.

Conscripted into the Red Army in August 1918 during the Russian Civil War, he was sent to the Moscow Workers' Regiment.

[1][2] After the end of the war, Monakhov became a platoon commander in the training regiment of the 133rd Brigade of the division, then held the same position with a destroyer detachment at Poltava.

Monakhov transferred to hold the same position with the 130th Rifle Division, and completed a class of the correspondence department of the Frunze Military Academy in 1941.

During the border battles the division fought as part of the 55th Rifle Corps, which joined the 18th Army in fighting in the Mogilev-Podolsk Fortified Region and on the Dniester, then retreated towards Olgopol.

In late December he became commander of the 471st Rifle Division, quickly renumbered as the 278th,[2] forming at Yelan near Stalingrad.

[1] Monakhov's division was sent to the 38th Army of the Southwestern Front in late May and fought in the defense of the Donbas near Kupiansk against the German advance in Case Blue.

In July the division fought in fierce defensive battles, covering the retreat of the army headquarters and ensuring its crossing of the Don near Kletskaya.

[2] During the Nikopol–Krivoi Rog Offensive, Monakhov was severely wounded around 13:00 on 12 February in a German air raid on the road southeast of Malo-Vorontsevka as the corps attacked Apostolovo.
