Natalie Glebova (Russian: Наталья Владимировна Глебова, born November 11, 1981) is a Russian-Canadian TV host, author, dancer, model, and beauty queen who won Miss Universe Canada 2005 and later that year won Miss Universe 2005 in Thailand.

Glebova was born in Tuapse, Russia. She studied classical piano and graduated from a professional musical school at age of 12. She also has won various regional rhythmic gymnastics championships. She immigrated to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, together with her parents at the age of 13.

Prior to competing at Miss Universe, Glebova worked as a model and received her Bachelor of Commerce in Information Technology Management and Marketing at Ryerson University in Toronto. She has also worked as a motivational speaker for grade school and high school students.

Glebova was married to Thai tennis player Paradorn Srichaphan. The couple, who met during the 2006 Thailand Open, became engaged in April 2007 and were married on November 29, 2007, in Bangkok, Thailand. They separated in early 2011.

In 2008, Glebova joined The Amazing Race Asia 3 and she partnered with Pailin Rungratanasunthorn. They represented Thailand and came in 8th place.

In December 2012, it was announced that Glebova will compete in reality TV show "Dancing with the Stars Thailand". The first episode was aired on Channel 7 (Thailand) on January 8, 2013, at 10:30pm

On April 9, 2016, Glebova gave birth to a daughter, Maya Kelly, with her fiancé Dean Kelly, who won Mister Panamá 2001.

In 2004, Glebova attempted to win the Miss Universe Canada pageant where she placed as 3rd runner-up. The eventual winner, Venessa Fisher, failed to place in the Miss Universe 2004 finals. Glebova competed again in January 2005, and won the title.
