Khatanbaatar Magsarjav (Mongolian: Хатанбаатар Магсаржав, ᠬᠠᠲᠤᠨ ᠪᠠᠭᠠᠲᠤᠷ ᠮᠠᠭᠰᠠᠷᠵᠠᠪ, [ˌχaʰtm̩ˈpaˑʰtər ˈmaqsərt͡ɕəw̜]; 1877 – September 3, 1927) was a Mongolian general and a leading figure in Mongolia's struggle for independence. His contingent of 800 elite Mongol soldiers fought White Russian and Chinese forces over 30 times between 1912 and 1921, without a single defeat. He served as acting prime minister from February 15, 1921 to March 13, 1921, under Roman von Ungern-Sternberg's puppet regime and then later as minister of the army in the 1920s. He received the title Ardyn (Ардын) in 1924.
