Ilia Romanovich Spiridonov (Russian: Илья Романович Спиридонов, born 5 February 1998) is a Russian pair skater. With partner Amina Atakhanova, he is the 2015–16 JGP Final bronze medalist.

Spiridonov began skating in 2001. He and Amina Atakhanova began competing together in December 2014, coached by Natalia Pavlova and Alexander Zaitsev in Moscow.

Atakhanova/Spiridonov's international debut came in September 2015 at the 2015–16 Junior Grand Prix (JGP) competition in Linz, Austria. Ranked first in both segments, Atakhanova/Spiridonov won gold by a margin of 3.79 points over the Czech Republic's Anna Dušková / Martin Bidař. At their second JGP assignment, in Toruń, Poland, they were awarded the silver medal behind Ekaterina Borisova / Dmitry Sopot of Russia. These results qualified them for the 2015–16 JGP Final in Barcelona, Spain, where they won the bronze medal behind Borisova/Sopot and Dušková/Bidař. At the 2016 Russian Junior Championships Atakhanova/Spiridonov won the silver medal behind Anastasia Mishina / Vladislav Mirzoev and were selected to compete at the 2016 World Junior Championships in Debrecen, Hungary. They withdrew before the start of the competition due to an injury to Atakhanova.
