Gennady Viktorovich Komnatov (Russian: Геннадий Викторович Комнатов; 18 September 1949 – 1 April 1979) was a Russian road cyclist. He was part of the Soviet team that won a gold medal in the 100 km team time trial at the 1972 Summer Olympics. He won three silver medals at the world championships in 1973–1975 in this event.
Komnatov was the eldest sibling in a family of four brothers and one sister. Influenced by Gennady, two of his younger brothers, Vasily and Stanislav, became cycling coaches. Komnatov died aged 29 in a traffic accident. A monument in his honor stands in the village of Zhelannoye where he was born.
