Sergei Ulagay (October 31, 1876 – April 29, 1944) was a White Army general in the Russian Civil War of 1917–1922. He was a veteran of the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905) and of World War I (1914–1917). He was a recipient (1917) of the Order of St. George.

In May 1919 he defeated Red Army cavalry commander Boris Dumenko in a large cavalry engagement.[1]

General Ulagay allegedly took part in Ahmet Zogu's coup in Albania in December 1924.[2]

He died in Marseille, France. He is buried at Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois Russian Cemetery south of Paris.
