Ivan Nikolayevich Taranov (Russian: Иван Николаевич Таранов; born 22 June 1986 in Tomsk) is a Russian football defender. He currently plays for Krylia Sovetov.
Spotted playing at a footballing school in Prokhladny, Taranov was spirited away to a boarding school by Black Sea side FC Chernomorets Novorossiysk where he spent two years learning his craft.
