Johannes Raudmets ({{langx|ru|Ива́н Ива́нович Ра́удмец|Ivan Ivanovich Raudmets}}; January 1, 1892 – September 9, 1937) was an Estonian Soviet Komdiv (division commander). He fought in the Imperial Russian Army in World War I before going over to the Bolsheviks in the subsequent civil war. He was a recipient of the Order of the Red Banner. During the Great Purge, he was arrested on June 11, 1937 and later executed. Some sources give the date of his execution as August 25, 1937. After the death of Joseph Stalin, he was rehabilitated in 1966.{{cite web |url=http://www.rkka.ru/handbook/personal/repress/komdiv.htm |title=Репрессии в Красной Армии |website=rkka.ru |language=ru |trans-title=Repressed Red Army commanders |url-status=live |access-date=7 January 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130327114933/http://rkka.ru/handbook/personal/repress/komdiv.htm |archive-date=27 March 2013 }}
