Nikolay Ivanovich Bogdanov (28 August 1751 - 16 March 1829) was a Russian General who participated in the wars against Napoleonic France.

On 27 March 1795, Bogdanov was awarded the Order of St. George, 4th degree "For the zealous service and brave deeds rendered during the defeat of the Polish insurgents" in the Vilnius uprising and during the storming of the city's fortifications, where he, commanding the guns entrusted to him on the 8th through the 31st of July 1794 contributed to the Russian victory with the taking of Vilnius.

[2][3] Bogdanov rose to a major general in October 1798 and served as chef of the 8th Horse Artillery Regiment from 7 March 1800 to 27 August 1801 (in September 1801, Gregorian Calendar).

Before the Battle of Borodino, Bogdanov was recalled to duty, and a new officer (Major General I. I. Miller) was put in charge of the Tula's people's militia, also known as Narodnoe Opolcheniye.

And during the fateful battle itself, he protected the right wing of the Russian Army, better known as the Raevsky Redoubt, winning the Order of St. George, 3rd degree.
