Boris Petrov Sarafov (Bulgarian and Macedonian: Борис Петров Сарафов; 12 June 1872 – 28 November 1907) was a Bulgarian Army officer, revolutionary, leader of the Supreme Macedonian-Adrianople Committee (SMAC) and the pro-Bulgarian, rightist wing of the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (IMRO). He self-identified occasionally as a Macedonian. Sarafov was a member of the General Staff of the Ilinden Uprising. After the uprising, he continued participating in the revolutionary movement until his assassination by IMRO's leftist faction in 1907.
