Sambadondogiin Tserendorj (Mongolian: Cамбадондогийн Цэрэндорж; 1872 - 1937) was recognized as the 6th reincarnate of the Donkor-Manjushri Gegen. He served as chief abbot of the Manjusri Monastery and later was the last acting prime minister of Outer Mongolia during Baron Ungern von Sternberg's occupation of Ikh Khŭree from May to July 1921. Later accused of counterrevolution, he was executed in 1937 at the start of the Stalinist purges in Mongolia (1937-1939).

Tserendorj, born in 1872, was recognized as the 6th reincarnate of the Donkor-Manjushri Gegen at the age of five and in 1880 took his place as Abbot of Manjusri Monastery. In 1911, Tserendorj was a strong supporter of Mongolia's struggle for independence, but withdrew from public life once the proclamation of independence was made.

In February 1921, Tserendorj safeguarded the Bogd Khan at Manjusri Monastery as forces loyal to the Baron Ungern von Sternberg drove occupying Chinese troops from Ikh Khŭree. With the restoration of autonomous Mongolian government in March 1921, the Bogd Khan once again became monarch of state. Prime Minister Damdinbazar was reassigned to minister of interior and sent west to fight White Russians alongside Khatanbaatar Magsarjav. Tserendorj became acting prime minister until July 1921 when Mongolian partisans commanded by Damdin Sukhbaatar and Red Army units defeated Baron Ungern von Sternberg's troops and occupied Ikh Khuree in what later became known as the Outer Mongolian Revolution of 1921.
