Dmytro Oleksandrovych Marchenko (Ukrainian: Дмитро Олександрович Марченко; born 1978) is a retired Ukrainian Major General in the Armed Forces of Ukraine who served in the Russo-Ukrainian War, coming to prominence after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Marchenko defended eastern Ukraine in the early Russo-Ukrainian War. In 2019, he was the subject of a corruption probe by Ukraine's State Investigation Bureau. In the first days of the 2022 Russian invasion, his troops stopped Russia from taking the city of Mykolaiv during the battle of Mykolaiv, making him a national hero and earning him the Order for Courage. In July, he began working as a "senior official for cooperation" between various parties in Mykolaiv and Kherson Oblasts. During the 2022 Kherson counteroffensive, his troops destroyed important Russian military infrastructure around the city of Kherson, waiting to receive aid before they moved into the city. In November, his troops liberated it. He was involved in the Ukrainian counteroffensive from June to December 2023, which was unsuccessful. He retired from the military in November 2024.
