Yevgeny Maksimovich Kungurtsev (Russian: Евге́ний Макси́мович Кунгу́рцев; 3 October 1921 – 11 May 2000) was a squadron commander in the 15th Guards Ground Attack Aviation Regiment during the Second World War who was twice awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union.

After completing his seventh grade of school in 1939 he went on to study for one year at the Votkinsk Engineering College in addition to the local aeroclub, having wanted to become a pilot since he was a child.

When not flying ground-attack missions, he flew reconnaissance missions to provide information about enemy positions to Soviet military command; On 14 July 1944 he successfully photographed strategically important parts of the Mannerheim Line, and on 20 August 1944 he photographed the Johvi station area in Estonia, meticulously documenting the area in photo, for which he was thanked by General Stepan Rybalchenko, commander of the 13th Air Army.

While being taken to another camp, the convoy transporting the group of Soviet prisoners was attacked, resulting in chaos that allowed Kungurtsev to escape from his guards.

In total he flew 210 combat sorties, shooting down one FW 190 in addition six shared shootdowns; on the ground, he took out five ammunition depots, 700 enemy soldiers, two trains, ten tanks, 24 mortars, 26 artillery points, two locomotives, and 46 rail cars.
