Alexandra Nikolayevna Stepanova (Russian: Александра Николаевна Степанова; born 19 August 1995) is a Russian ice dancer. With partner Ivan Bukin, she is the 2015 European bronze medalist, a three-time medalist on the Grand Prix series, a two-time Finlandia Trophy champion (2014, 2016), and a three-time Russian national medalist (2017 silver, 2015 and 2016 bronze). On the junior level, they won the 2013 World Junior Championships, 2012–13 JGP Final, and 2014 Russian Junior Championships.
Alexandra Nikolayevna Stepanova was born on 19 August 1995 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Her mother is a former volleyball player and her father a speed skater.
Stepanova began learning to skate in 1999. As a single skater, she struggled with jumps because of her long legs, leading her coach to redirect her into ice dancing. Since there was no dance school in Saint Petersburg, she moved to Moscow. Stepanova was partnered with Bukin in 2006 by coaches Irina Zhuk and Alexander Svinin. She had no previous partners.
Stepanova/Bukin debuted on the Junior Grand Prix series in the 2010–11 season. They won both of their events and qualified for the 2010 JGP Final, where they won the bronze medal.
