Alisa Andreyevna Fedichkina (Russian: Алиса Андреевна Федичкина; born 14 February 2002) is a Russian competitive figure skater. She has won one medal on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series and a small gold medal for the short program at the 2016 World Junior Championships.
Fedichkina was born on 14 February 2002 in Rostov-on-Don, Russia.
Fedichkina began skating in 2006 when she was 4 years old. In the 2014–15 season, she qualified for the first time to the Russian Junior Championships and finished 8th.
Fedichkina's international debut came in the 2015–16 season. Competing at her first Junior Grand Prix (JGP) assignment, she placed first in the short program, 5th in the free skate, and 4th overall at JGP Riga in August 2015. The following month, she won the silver medal at JGP Spain after ranking first in the short, second in the free, and obtaining a total score 0.42 less than Japan's Yuna Shiraiwa. Fedichkina's placements gave her the last qualifying spot for the 2015−16 JGP Final.
Competing on the junior level, Fedichkina won gold at the 2015 International Cup of Nice and silver at the 2015 Tallinn Trophy. She placed second in the short, fourth in the free, and fourth overall – 0.53 shy of the bronze medalist – at the 2015−16 JGP Final, held in December in Barcelona, Spain. Later that month, she made her senior national debut, placing 11th at the Russian Championships. In January, Fedichkina won the Russian junior national bronze medal behind Polina Tsurskaya and Maria Sotskova. In March, she was awarded a small gold medal for her short program result at the 2016 World Junior Championships in Debrecen, Hungary. She withdrew one hour before the free skate due to a sprained ankle she incurred in practice.
