Maxim Igorevich Zavozin (Russian: Максим Игоревич Завозин; born March 2, 1985) is a former competitive ice dancer who appeared internationally for the United States and Hungary. With Nóra Hoffmann for Hungary, he is the 2010 Cup of Russia silver medalist and a two-time (2009, 2010) Hungarian national champion. With Morgan Matthews for the United States, he is the 2006 Four Continents silver medalist and 2005 World Junior champion.
Zavozin was born in Moscow, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union. He is the son of Soviet ice dancers Elena Garanina and Igor Zavozin. He competed in ballroom dancing in Russia from the age of 7 to 11.
Zavozin became a U.S. citizen on December 30, 2005. He became a Hungarian citizen on 25 January 2010, just before the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Zavozin first stepped onto the ice at the age of four but did not practice regularly due to extensive traveling. He stopped skating when he was seven and returned to it at 13. Early in his career, Zavozin competed with partner Stephanie Ellis.
Zavozin teamed up with Morgan Matthews in 2001. They were coached by his mother, Elena Garanina, and Valeriy Spiridonov in Sunrise, Florida. They became the 2003 and 2004 U.S. junior champions and went on to capture the 2005 World Junior title. They won the pewter medal at the 2006 U.S. Championships and were sent to the 2006 Four Continents where they won silver. The next season, they placed fifth at the 2007 U.S. Championships. Matthews and Zavozin announced the end of their partnership on February 26, 2007.
