Vasily Mikhailovich Chernetsov (Russian: Василий Михайлович Чернецов; March 3, 1890 – January 23, 1918) was a Don Cossack Russian Imperial Army officer who served as a colonel in the Don Army during the Russian Civil War.

He led Chernetsov's Partisans, an independent irregular military unit commissioned by ataman Alexey Kaledin on November 7, 1917.

The deaths of Colonel Chernetsov and his partisans at the hands of the Bolsheviks are part of the plot of the Mikhail Sholokhov novel And Quiet Flows the Don.
