Anatoliy Alekseevich Nogovitsyn ({{langx|ru|Анатолий Алексеевич Ноговицын}}; 29 April 1952 – 5 November 2019) was a Russian military officer. He served as the Deputy Chief of General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Holding the rank of Colonel General, he was known for being the primary spokesman of the Russian Armed Forces during 2008 South Ossetia War and for warning Poland about the possibility of a nuclear strike on 15 August 2008 after an agreement reached between the United States of America and Poland on 14 August 2008 about hosting part of a US missile defense shield in Poland. President Dmitry Medvedev later played down the nuclear attack threats against Poland.
