Vladimir Ivanovich Shcherbakov (Russian: Щербаков, Владимир Иванович; 14 July 1901 – 4 November 1981) was a Soviet general of the Red Army during World War II.

Born in a village in the Oryol Governorate (today in the Izmalkovsky District in Lipetsk Oblast), he entered the Red Army in 1919 by attending the officers course of the South-Western Front in Serpukhov.

In July 1920 he took part in the Soviet-Polish War, fighting against the Poles and the Ukrainian forces of Simon Petlyura with the south-western front of General Yegorov, reaching the rank of company commander.

On 24 September he was removed from office, on the orders of Generals Georgy Zhukov and Andrei Zhdanov, because he was deemed "unsuitable for the role" and passed to command of the 11th Rifle Division in the same 8th Army.

In the autumn of 1944 he led the 14th Army in the victorious Petsamo-Kirkenes Offensive, driving the German troops out of Soviet territory, capturing the Finnish port city of Petsamo, and liberating the far north of Norway including the town of Kirkenes.
