Krastyo Naumov Magerov was a Bulgarian teacher and revolutionary known for his active involvement in Macedonia's liberation struggle as an IMARO member.

Born in 1855 in Drenovtsi near Prilep, then in the Ottoman Empire, he was a furrier by trade. He became a hajduk in 1889, took part in the Macedonian Committee's armed campaign in 1895 and fought in the Kriva Palanka region. He then joined IMARO and participated in the Ilinden–Preobrazhenie Uprising with Hristo Chernopeev's detachment. In spring 1905, he served under Petar Atsev.

He was killed that year in the Kratovo region while travelling towards Krushevo, alongside the commander Nikola Karev. His death reflected his commitment and sacrifice in the struggle for Macedonia's freedom.
