The 35th Guards Rifle Division (Russian: 35-я гвардейская стрелковая дивизия) was a division of the Soviet Red Army in World War II.

Formed from an airborne corps in the summer of 1942, the division fought in the Battle of Stalingrad with the 62nd Army, then served through the war with the 8th Guards Army. It was briefly stationed in Germany postwar before its disbandment in mid-1946.
