Yelena Igorevna Radionova (Russian: Елена Игоревна Радионова; born 6 January 1999) is a Russian figure skater. She is the 2015 World bronze medalist, a two-time (20152016) European silver medalist, a two-time Grand Prix Final medalist, 2017 Winter Universiade champion and the 2015 Russian national champion. On the junior level, she won two World Junior titles (2013 & 2014) and the 2012–13 JGP Final.

Radionova was born 6 January 1999 in Moscow, Russia. She is the only child in her family. Her interests include writing lyrics, ballet, modern dancing, and singing.

Radionova's father introduced her to skating when she was three years and nine months, seeking to align her club foot. Since the age of four, she has been coached by Inna Goncharenko at CSKA Moscow. Her figure skating role models are Kim Yuna, Mao Asada, and Carolina Kostner.

In the 2010–11 season, Radionova finished 4th at the 2011 Russian Junior Championships. She won the Zhuk Memorial kids' competition.

In the 2011–12 season, Radionova appeared at her first senior Russian Championships, finishing 5th, and went on to win the bronze medal at the Russian Junior Championships that same season. Not yet age-eligible for junior ISU events, Radionova competed in the novice event at the 2012 Triglav Trophy, winning the gold medal.
