Admiral Dmitry Nikolayevich Senyavin (Russian: Дмитрий Николаевич Сенявин; 17 August [O.S. 6 August] 1763 – 17 April [O.S. 5 April] 1831) was an Imperial Russian Navy officer who served the Russo-Turkish wars and French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. He was the successor of Fyodor Ushakov: in the Battle of Athos, Senyavin developed the tactics used by Ushakov — to attack the column by several groups, directing the main blow against the Ottoman flagships.
