Aleksandra Igorevna Boikova (Russian: Александра Игоревна Бойкова, born 20 January 2002) is a Russian pair skater. With her skating partner, Dmitrii Kozlovskii, she is the 2017 World Junior silver medalist, 2016–17 Junior Grand Prix Final bronze medalist, and 2017 Russian national junior champion.

Boikova started learning to skate in 2006. She trained as a single skater in Alexei Mishin's group until late 2015.

In November 2015, Boikova teamed up with her first pair skating partner, Dmitrii Kozlovskii, who had switched to the discipline four months earlier. The pair is coached by Artur Minchuk in Saint Petersburg.

Boikova/Kozlovskii's international debut came in September 2016 at a Junior Grand Prix (JGP) event in Russia, where they won the silver medal. At their next JGP assignment, in Germany, they placed 4th. These results qualified them to the 2016–17 Junior Grand Prix Final, held in December in Marseille, France. They won the bronze medal with a personal best score of 159.72. Later in the same month, they finished sixth competing on the senior level at the Russian Championships. They won the junior national title in February 2017.

In March, Boikova/Kozlovskii won silver at the 2017 World Junior Championships in Taipei, Taiwan. Ranked first in the short program and fourth in the free skate, they finished second to Australia's Ekaterina Alexandrovskaya / Harley Windsor with a deficit of 2.05 points.
