Oksana Yurevna Kondratyeva (Russian: Оксана Юрьевна Кондратьева; born 22 November 1985) is a Russian track and field athlete competing in the hammer throw. Her personal best of 77.13 m (253 ft 012 in) ranks her in the all-time top ten of the event. She represented Russia at the 2013 World Championships in Athletics, placing seventh.

She is a four-time participant at the Summer Universiade, with her best performance coming in 2013, when she won the silver medal. She holds the title of Russia Master of Sport – International Class. She is the daughter of hammer thrower Yuriy Sedykh and sprinter Lyudmila Kondratyeva.

Raised in Moscow, she is the daughter of two Olympic champions: 1976 and 1980 Olympic hammer throw champion Yuriy Sedykh and 100 metres Olympic champion Lyudmila Kondratyeva. Her half-sister Alexia Sedykh is also an international hammer thrower and was the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics champion competing for France. Oksana Kondratyeva became a member of the Moscow Youth Sports Club and began competing in the hammer in her late teens.

In 2004, she placed third in the Russian junior category and was third in the Moscow regional championship. She won the Moscow under-23 competition the following year, clearing sixty metres for the first time, and ranked seventh nationally in the national winter throws and Russian Athletics Championships. Her best performance in 2005 was a throw of 62.24 m (204 ft 214 in) for fifth at the Russian Athletics Cup. She competed sparingly in 2006 while studying, but managed to win the Russian under-23 title. She had a new best at the 2007 Russian Winter Throwing event, placing third with a mark of 65.76 m (215 ft 834 in). This earned her a spot at the 2007 Summer Universiade in Bangkok, although with a throw of 53.93 m (176 ft 11 in) she was well below par on her international debut.
