Elena Berezhnaya (born October 11 1977 in Nevinnomirsk, Russia) is a Russian figure skater.
Berezhnaya has competed in three Winter Olympics: in 1994, representing Latvia and, in 1998 and 2002, representing Russia. She won the silver medal in 1998 and the gold medal in 2002, in the pairs competition, skating with Anton Sikharulidze. The decision to award the gold medal in 2002 was the subject of a hugely-publicised controversy, which was finally resolved by the awarding of an additional gold to the Canadian pair that had originally been given the silver.
