Inna Vasilyevna Deriglazova (Russian: Инна Васильевна Дериглазова, born 10 March 1990) is a Russian foil fencer, team World champion in 2011, European champion and Olympic team silver in 2012. In the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, she got the gold medal in the Individual contest, where she defeated the Italian champion Elisa Di Francisca

Deriglazova began fencing at the age of 8 in hometown Kurchatov. When her potential became apparent she underwent serious training under Ildar Mavlyutov. Despite her diminutive frame as a child, she got used to fence athletes much older. She won a bronze medal in the 2006 Cadet World Championships in Taebaek city, followed a year later by a gold medal in the individual and team events of the Cadet World Championships at Novi Sad. The same year, she took the bronze medal in the Junior World Championships at Prague. She became Junior World Champion in Amsterdam in 2008.

Shortly after her world title, Deriglazova got married and gave birth to a daughter, Diana. She stopped training just a week before delivery and went back to the piste two weeks afterwards. Two months after giving birth, she earned the silver medal in the Russian national championship. A year after, in 2010, she took the gold in the individual and team event of the Junior World Championships in Baku. The same year, she joined the senior national team and took a bronze medal in the individual and team events of the senior European Championships in Leipzig.

Deriglazova climbed her first World Cup podium in 2011 with a silver medal in Tauberbischofsheim. She was stopped by Korea's Nam Hyun-hee in the table of 16 of the 2011 World Championships in Catania. In the team event, Russia defeated France in the quarter-finals, then Korea to meet the Italian "Dream Team". Russia lost by a single hit and were doomed to a silver medal. At the 2012 European Championships she defeated reigning Olympic silver medallist Arianna Errigo in the semi-finals and prevailed over teammate Kamilla Gafurzianova to earn her first senior individual title. For her Olympic début at London 2012, she was defeated 8–15 in the second round of the individual event by France's Ysaora Thibus. In the team event Russia got the best of Japan, then of South Korea. They met No.1 rivals Italy in the final. Deriglazova opened the match against five-time Olympic champion Valentina Vezzali and was defeated 2–5. Her teammates could not contain Italy either and Russia were eventually defeated 31–45.
