Aleksei Maksimovich Kaledin (Russian: Алексей Максимович Каледин; 12 October 1861 - January 29, 1918) was a Russian Full General of Cavalry who led the Don Cossack White movement in the opening stages of the Russian Civil War.
Kaledin graduated from the Voronezh Military School, the Mikhailovskoye Artillery School in Petersburg (1882) and the General Staff Academy (1889).
On June 17, 1917, Kaledin was appointed Ataman of the Don Cossack Host by the Cossack community and, at the insistence of Mitrofan Bogayevsky, became the head of the counterrevolutionary government.
