Ivan Sidorovich Lazarenko (Template:Lang-ru) (8 October 1895 – 1944) was a Soviet general.

From 1940 to 1941 he was the commander of the 42nd Rifle Division. After his division was destroyed near Brest, Belarus during the German invasion of the Soviet Union (see also Defense of Brest Fortress), in 1941 he was court-martialed and condemned to death but the sentence was canceled.[1] In 1943 he became the commander of the 369th Rifle Division; he was killed in action in 1944
