Evgenia Armanovna Medvedeva (Russian: Евгения Армановна Медведева; born 19 November 1999) is a Russian figure skater. She is the 2016 World champion, a two-time European champion (2016 European, 2017 European), two-time Grand Prix Final champion (2015, 2016), and two-time Russian Figure Skating champion (2016, 2017). On the junior level, she won the 2015 World Junior Championships and the 2014 Junior Grand Prix Final. Medvedeva became the first ladies' singles skater to win senior Worlds the year after winning Junior Worlds.

Medvedeva was born 19 November 1999 in Moscow. Her mother, a former figure skater, and father, Arman Babasyan, an Armenian, are divorced. She admires Evgeni Plushenko. A self-professed fan of anime, Medvedeva is very fond of Sailor Moon and Yuri on Ice.

On the ice from the age of three, Medvedeva was taught initially by Elena Proskurina, Lubov Yakovleva, and Elena Selivanova. Around 2008, she joined Eteri Tutberidze at the Olympic Reserve Sports School no. 37, renamed Sambo 70.

Medvedeva made her senior national debut at the 2012 Russian Championships, finishing eighth, and then placed sixth on the junior level. She sustained an injury at the start of the following season and did not qualify for the senior Russian Nationals. She finished fourth behind Maria Sotskova at the 2013 Russian Junior Championships.
