Oleksandra (Alexandra) Yevhenivna Nazarova (Ukrainian: Олександра Євгенівна Назарова; born 30 November 1996) is a Ukrainian ice dancer. With partner Maksym Nikitin, she is the 2015 World Junior bronze medalist and 2012 Youth Olympic silver medalist. On the senior level, they are the 2017 Winter Universiade champions, 2014 CS Warsaw Cup silver medalists, 2016 Cup of Nice bronze medalists, and two-time Ukrainian national champions (2015, 2017).

Oleksandra Nazarova was born on 30 November 1996 in Kharkiv, Ukraine. In 2014, she began taking correspondence courses at the Kharkiv State Academy of Physical Culture.

Nazarova was a single skater in her early years. Around 2004, Halyna Churilova encouraged her and Maksym Nikitin, also a single skater from Kharkiv, to form an ice dancing partnership. Churilova coached the team in their hometown.

Nazarova/Nikitin debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series in 2010. They placed 11th in Graz, Austria and 7th in Sheffield, England.

In 2011–12, they made no appearances on the JGP series but were sent to the Youth Olympics in January 2012 in Innsbruck, Austria. They won the silver medal behind Russia's Anna Yanovskaya / Sergey Mozgov.
