Semyon Danilovich Nomokonov (Russian: Семён Данилович Номоконов; 12 August 1900 – 15 July 1973) was a Soviet sniper during World War II credited with 367 kills.

[1][a] An ethnic Hamnigan Evenk,[b] Nomokonov was among the indigenous peoples of Russia who fought in the war.

[1][2] Nomokonov was born in the settlement of Delyun in Zabaykalsky Krai, Russia (then Russian Empire), to a poor family of hunters, and from childhood lived in the taiga.

To avoid wasting the rounds, Nomokonov tested the rifle on a German, who was moving along the wooded lake shore, bending down.

Nomokonov fought at the Valdai Heights, Karelian Isthmus, Ukraine, Lithuania, East Prussia and then in Manchuria.

He continued practicing carpentry in Nizhny Stan, but then moved to the settlement of Zugalay, where his elder sons were living.
