Rustam Usmanovich Muradov (Russian: Руста́м Усма́нович Мура́дов; born 21 March 1973) is a Russian military officer, serving as a Colonel General in the Russian Armed Forces.[1][2] He was the Commander of the Eastern Military District from 5 October 2022 to 6 April 2023.[3] He was the Deputy Commander of the Southern Military District since December 2018 until October 2022. He was awarded the title Hero of the Russian Federation in 2017.

In October 2022, General Muradov was appointed Commander of the Eastern Military District. In April 2023, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Muradov was unofficially relieved of his command following a series of failed Russian attacks close to the eastern Ukrainian town of Vuhledar. These attacks resulted in notably high casualties for the Russian Armed Forces and the loss of scores of equipment pieces, including at least 26 tanks.[4]
