Ivan Fyodorovich Paskevich () (August 5 (8th NS), 1782 – January 20 (February 1, NS), 1856), was a Ukrainian-born military leader in the Russian service. For his victories, he was made Count of Erivan in 1828 and Prince of Warsaw in 1831.

On the outbreak of war with Persia in 1826 he was appointed second in command, and, succeeding in the following year to the chief command, gained rapid and brilliant successes which compelled the shah to sue for peace in February of 1828. In reward of his services he was named by the emperor Count of Erivan, and received a million rubles and a diamond-mounted sword. From Persia he was sent to Turkey, and, having captured in rapid succession the principal fortresses, he was at the end of the campaign made a Field Marshal at the age of forty-seven. In 1830, he subdued the mountaineers of Dagestan.

In 1831, he was entrusted with the command of the army sent to suppress the November Uprising in Poland, and after the fall of Warsaw, which gave the death blow to Polish independence, he was raised to the dignity of prince of Warsaw, and created viceroy of the kingdom of Poland.

On the outbreak of the Insurrection of Hungary in 1848 he was appointed to the command of the Russian troops sent to the aid of Austria, and finally compelled the surrender of the Hungarians at Világos. In April of 1854 he again took the field in command of the army of the Danube, but on June 9, at Silistria, where he suffered defeat, he received a contusion which compelled him to retire from active service.

He died in Warsaw, where in 1869 a memorial was erected to him. He held the rank of field marshal in the Prussian and Austrian armies as well as in his own service.
