Irbaykhan Adylkhanovich Baybulatov (Chechen: Ирбайхан Адылханович Байбулатов; 1912 – 12 October 1943) was a senior lieutenant and battalion commander in the Soviet Army during the Second World War who was posthumously awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union.

[1] Baybulatov was born in 1912 to a Chechen peasant family in the village of Osmanyurt, then part of the Russian Empire.

[2][3] Immediately after the launch of operation Barbarossa, Baybulatov was drafted into the Soviet Army.

During the battle for one village he led his machine gunners in repelling attacks from the German Army to break out of an encirclement.

He was killed in action less than a week before he was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union.
