Nikolai Ivanovich Depreradovich (Russian: Депрерадович, Николай Иванович; Serbian: Никола Прерадовић; Novorossiya, Imperial Russia, 23 October 1767 – St. Peterburg, Imperial Russia, 16 December 1843) was one of the most decorated Russian generals who fought against Napoleonic France.

[2] He played an important role with Illarion Vasilyevich Vasilchikov (1776–1847) in the grand strategy of the Russian Empire after Alexander I ascended the throne.

[3] He was a Serb[4] originally from an old border officer's family that moved from what was then part of the Austrian Empire's Military Frontier to Slavo-Serbia in Imperial Russia.

Commanding the chevalier-guardsmen, he led a brilliant attack near Austerlitz, giving the guard the opportunity to retreat.

In 1810, he was appointed the commander of the 1st Cuirassier Division, which at the beginning of the Patriotic War of 1812 was part of the 1st Western Army.
