Anna Sergeyevna Ovcharova (Russian: Анна Серге́евна Овчарова; born 16 March 1996) is a Russian figure skater. In 2013, she began competing for Switzerland. She is the 2014 Bavarian Open silver medalist, 2014 Challenge Cup bronze medalist, and 2014 Swiss national champion. For Russia, she is the 2011 Cup of Nice bronze medalist, 2010 Russian national junior silver medalist, and placed fifth at the 2010 World Junior Championships.

Anna Sergeyevna Ovcharova was born on 16 March 1996 in Moscow. She graduated from Collège du Léman in Geneva, class of 2014.

Ovcharova began skating at age four, taught initially by Marina Cherkasova. At age seven, she began training at CSKA Moscow under the guidance of Elena Blagova, who would teach her double and triple jumps. Svetlana Sokolovskaya began coaching Ovcharova when she was about eleven years old.

Ovcharova made her international debut in the 2009–10 season on the Junior Grand Prix series. She placed fifth in her first JGP event in August 2009 in Hungary and then won silver in September in Poland. Her results qualified her for the JGP Final where she finished fifth. After winning the silver medal at the Russian Junior Championships, Ovcharova was assigned to the 2010 World Junior Championships. She placed first in the short program — winning a small gold medal for the segment — eighth in the free skate, and fifth overall.
