Mikhail Alekseyevich Yegorov ({{langx|ru|Михаил Алексеевич Егоров}}; 5 May 1923 – 20 June 1975) was a sergeant of the Soviet Army who, along with Meliton Kantaria and Alexei Berest, was one of the three soldiers credited with raising the Soviet flag over the Reichstag on 1 May 1945 after the Battle of Berlin.

Yegorov joined the partisans during the Nazi occupation, then enlisted in the Red Army in late 1944 as an infantry scout. He worked at a dairy farm after leaving the army. In 1975, he was killed in a traffic accident at the age of 52.
