Minigali Mingazovich Shajmuratov (Russian: Минигали́ Минга́зович Шаймура́тов, Tatar: Миңлегали Минһаҗетдин улы Шайморатов; 15 August 1899 – 23 February 1943) was a Tatar cavalry general of the Red Army during Second World War who was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation on 23 March 2020.

According to Konstantin Simonov,Shaimuratov was well versed in English, Chinese, Tatar, Uyghur and Kazakh languages, and probably therefore "travelled half the world on special assignments of the government."

After the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War in 1941, Colonel M. M. Shaimuratov was transferred to the Inspectorate of Cavalry of the Red Army and appointed commander of the Kremlin protection unit - the 1st Special Cavalry Regiment, which was soon sent to the front as part of the corps of General L. M. Dovator.

For the battles near Volokolamsk,on the outskirts of Moscow, M. M. Shaimoratov was awarded the second Order of the Red Banner.

On February 23, 1943, he died heroically between the villages of the Shterovsky Dynamite Plant named after G. I. Petrovsky (Petrovskoye) and Yulino (Shterovka) of the Voroshilovograd region when the regiment left the raid because of the enemy.

A. Maslov, based on the materials of the archive of the Ministry of Defense of Russia, General Shaimurgatov during hand-to-hand combat was seriously wounded and captured by the Nazis and immediately during the battle was barbarously tortured to death by the Don Cossacks who were in the service of the Nazis.

Shaimurovskaya division during the Great Patriotic War passed from the Don to the Elbe more than 4000 km.
