Khrystofor Antonovych Baranovsky (;, romanized: Khristofor Antonovich Baranovskiy; — 1941) was a financial expert and a leader of cooperative movement in the Russian Empire, Ukraine, and Brazil.

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.
