Dmitry Danilovich Lelyushenko (Russian: Дми́трий Дани́лович Лелюше́нко; (2 November [O.S. 20 October] 1901 – 20 July 1987) was a Soviet military officer and a commander in the Red Army during World War II. He rose to prominence during the first months of the Eastern Front of the Second World War, where he became a strong influence during the defence of Moscow against the German invasion. His subsequent battlefield commands were largely successful and his final actions in 1945 involved directing forces during the Red Army's attacks on both Berlin and Prague.
