Khrystofor Antonovych Baranovsky (Ukrainian: Христофо́р Антоно́вич Барано́вський; Russian: Христофо́р Антоно́вич Барано́вский, romanized: Khristofor Antonovich Baranovskiy; December 31 [O.S. December 19] 1874 — 1941) was a financial expert and a leader of cooperative movement in the Russian Empire, Ukraine, and Brazil.

Baranovsky was born in the village of Nemyryntsi, Berdychiv Raion, in the Kiev Governorate of the Russian Empire (in the former Ruzhyn, in the Zhytomyr Oblast of Ukraine). He was born to a peasant family. He did not earn a general education, but his financial talent made him the leader of the Ukrainian cooperative movement. In December 1913, Baranovsky was admitted to the International Co-operative Alliance.^[1]

Prior to World War I he established the Soyuzbank in Kiev. In 1917, with Fedir Kryzhanivsky Baranovsky established the Ukrainbank and became its head director. In 1919, he chaired the board of the Central Ukrainian cooperative union - Central.

Baranovsky held the chair of the General Secretariat together with Volodymyr Vynnychenko (Secretary of Internal Affairs). He did not have any political affiliation.

In 1921, Baranovsky emigrated to South America where he died about 20 years later in 1941.
