Junker mutiny was an episode of the Russian Revolution.

On October 29 (November 11 (O.S.)) 1917, students of junker schools in Petrograd rose up against the bolsheviks under the leadership of the Committee for Salvation of Motherland and Revolution (Комитет спасения Родины и революции) organised by Right Esers. The goal was the support of the Kerensky-Krasnov uprising (October 26-October 31, 1917).

The mutiny was quickly put down by the Red Guards.
