Hristo Chernopeev (Bulgarian: Христо Чернопеев) (c. 1868, Dermantsi – 6 November 1915, Krivolak) was a Bulgarian Army officer and member of the revolutionary movement in Macedonia. He was among the leaders of the Bulgarian People's Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization.

Chernopeev worked as sergeant in Bulgarian Army from 1889 to 1899. Afterwards he became an active member of the Macedonian liberation movement and took part in the Miss Stone Affair in 1901 in Pirin Mountain. After the suppression of the Ilinden-Preobrazhenie Uprising in 1903 together with Yane Sandanski and Dimo Hadjidimov, he set the base of the left wing of IMRO. During this period he led a band in Kilkis' region and worked as a military instructor in IMRO. After the Young Turks revolution in 1908, Chernopeev was one of the founders of the People's Federative Party (Bulgarian Section). From 1911, he became member of the Central Committee of IMRO. During 1912, he was the leader of a volunteer regiment in the First Balkan War. In 1913, Chernopeev was elected as deputy in the Bulgarian parliament. During the First World War in 1915, he left the parliament and went at the front as a reserve officer. Chernopeev was killed on 6 November 1915 in the battle of Krivolak with French troops. He was buried in the courtyard of the church in Novo Selo, now a quarter of Štip.
