Anastasia Nikolayevna Grishina (Russian: Анастасия Николаевна Гришина) (born 16 January 1996) is a retired Russian artistic gymnast. She was a member of the silver medal winning Russian team at the 2012 Summer Olympics, and the 2013 European all around bronze medalist.

In April, Grishina competed at the European Championships in Birmingham, United Kingdom. She placed second in the all around competition with a score of 56.950. In event finals, she placed first on uneven bars scoring 15.375 and first on floor scoring 14.275.

Grishina did not compete for the rest of the year because she was resting a sore back. At the end of the year she told International Gymnast Magazine, "The best moments in 2010 were that I performed well at the European Championships, and I finished the first term at school with 13 5s (As) and three 4s (Bs). This year I'm finishing my ninth grade exams, and it would be good to pass the exams. And in gymnastics, I want to go to the European Youth Olympic Festival in Turkey and do well. Right now I have everything in order (with my health) and if all goes well, then I will compete at the Russian Championships."

In March, Grishina competed at the City of Jesolo Trophy in Jesolo, Italy. She placed fifth in the all around competition with a score of 57.050.

In April, Grishina competed at the Russian National Championships in Penza, Russia. She won the all around competition with a two-day combined score of 117.775.

In May, Grishina competed at the Zakharova Cup in Kiev, Ukraine. She won the all around competition with a score of 59.950.

In July, Grishina was meant to compete at the European Youth Olympic Festival in Trabzon, Turkey but she injured her hamstring.

"Grishina is a great young talent coming up. She's a very interesting gymnast, very beautiful. She's light, she's flexible, she can do good difficulty. It just so happens she's missed a lot of competition lately. But I have high hopes for Grishina and I'm looking forward to seeing how she performs on the podium."
