General Gennady Nikolaevich Shpigun (Геннадий Николаевич Шпигун) (February 5, 1947 – ca. 2000) was the Russian Interior Ministry's special representative in Chechnya.

Shpigun's kidnappers, reported at various times to be different Chechen rebel warlords (Shamil Basaev, Arbi Barayev, Magomed Khatuev), demanded a ransom of US$15 million for his release.
