Metodi Tasev Shatorov - Sharlo (Bulgarian: ?????? ??????? - ?????;Macedonian: ??????ja ??????? - ?????) (January 10, 1897, Prilep, Manastir Vilayet, Ottoman Empire – September 12, 1944 near Velingrad, Bulgaria) was a Bulgarian Communist Party activist and also temporary leader of the Regional Committee of Communists in Macedonia in 1940-1941.
As most left-wing politicians from Macedonia, during the 1930s he adopted the Balkan Communist Federation's concept for an independent Macedonia and recognition of a distinct Macedonian national identity.
However, Macedonian communist functionaries, originating from the Bulgarian Communist Party (BCP) and Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (United) (IMRO (United)) never lost their strong pro-Bulgarian (Bulgarophile) sentiments.
