The 3rd Guards 'Kotelnikovo' Tank Division (Russian: 3-я гвардейская танковая Котельниковская Краснознамённая ордена Суворова дивизия) (Military Unit Number 44181) was an armoured division of the Soviet Ground Forces, formed in 1945 and disestablished in 1989.
The division was formed from the previous 3rd Guards Tank Corps. At the beginning of the Battle of Narva (1944) in February 1944 the 3rd Guards Tank Corps was directly reporting to Leningrad Front, and was led by Major General I. A. Vovchenko.
The organisation of the division before being reduced:[1]
