Viktor Danilovich Krenke (13 June 1816 – 31 May 1893) was a Russian military engineer, participant in the Russo-Turkish War (1877–78), lieutenant general, and writer in the field of agriculture.

In 1855, Krenke was appointed commander of a training sapper battalion and at the same time was sent to supervise the work on putting the Vyborg fortress into a defensive position on the occasion of the Eastern War.

In 1869, a painful condition forced him to go to the reserve of the engineering corps, but with the declaration of the Russian-Turkish war in 1877, Krenke, of his own free will, was assigned to the army at the disposal of the commander-in-chief.

At the end of the war, he was appointed head of military communications in Bulgaria; at the same time, he was entrusted with the main supervision over the evacuation of Russian troops from Burgas, and then from Ruschuk and Silistria.

Krenke died on 31 May 1893 (excluded from the lists by the deceased by the Highest order on military ranks on 28 June), his widow Alexandra Alexandrovna - on 4 July 1899; the Krenke spouses are buried in the Kolbetsky churchyard[1] of the Tikhvin district of the Novgorod province (now the village of Kolbeki in the Boksitogorsky municipal district of the Leningrad region).
