Evgenia Vasilievna Shishkova (Russian: Евгения Васильевна Шишкова; born 18 December 1972) is a Russian pair skater and coach. With partner Vadim Naumov, she is the 1994 World champion and the 1995–96 Champions Series Final champion.
Shishkova/Naumov were introduced in 1985 by Naumov's coach who wanted them to skate together. Naumov initially rebuffed the idea because he did not wish to change partners, however, following a number of tryouts, he and Shishkova agreed to team up. They began competing together in 1987.
In 1991, Shishkova/Naumov won bronze at their first European Championships and placed 5th at the World Championships. The next season, they competed at their first Olympics, the 1992 Olympics in Albertville, France, where they placed fifth.
Shishkova/Naumov won their first World medal – bronze – at the 1993 World Championships. The following year, the pair placed 4th at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway. They ended the season by becoming World champions.
Shishkova/Naumov picked up their third World medal – silver – in 1995. From 1991–1995, the pair also won five European medals. In February 1996, they won gold at the 1995–96 Champions Series Final (later renamed the Grand Prix Final).
