Evgeni Arkadievich Platov (Russian: Евгений Аркадьевич Платов, born August 7, 1967) is a Russian former competitive ice dancer. He is best known for his partnership with Oksana Grishuk from 1989–1998. With Grishuk, he is a two-time Olympic champion (1994, 1998), four-time World champion (1994–1997), and three-time European champion (1996–1998).

With previous partner Elena Krykanova, he was a three-time World Junior champion (1984–1986). During his career, he represented the Soviet Union, the Unified Team, and Russia. Since retiring from competition, he works as a figure skating coach and choreographer.

Platov was born on August 7, 1967 in Odessa, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union. He lived in Odessa until his move to Moscow, Russian SFSR, in 1982. He married Maria Anikanova, a Russian figure skater and later actress, but they eventually divorced.

Platov settled in New Jersey in 1998.

Platov switched from singles to ice dancing in October 1976. Boris Rublev arranged his first partnernship and then paired him with Elena Krykanova a couple of months later. The two were coached by Rublev in Odessa until 1982 when they moved to Moscow to train under Natalia Dubova. Krykanova/Platov won three World Junior titles from 1984 to 1986.
