Polina Alexandrovna Korobeynikova (Russian: Полина Александровна Коробейникова; born 12 April 1996) is a Russian figure skater. She is the 2012 Cup of Nice champion and the 2011–12 Junior Grand Prix Final bronze medalist. She placed 4th at the 2012 European Championships.
Korobeynikova's parents enrolled her in figure skating when she was three-and-a-half in order to improve her health. She loved the activity from the start. She also took skiing lessons. As a young child, Korobeynikova was coached by Eteri Tutberidze but due to Moscow's traffic jams, Tutberidze encouraged her to switch to the Moskvich rink which is nearer to the skater's home. Korobeynikova has been coached by Viktoria Volchkova since mid-2007. She was in Volchkova's first group of students after her retirement from competition.
Korobeynikova was 10th on the senior level at the 2011 Russian Championships.
Korobeynikova began competing internationally in the 2011–12 season after learning the triple flip-triple toe and the triple lutz. Her first Junior Grand Prix event was Brisbane, Australia, where she placed 4th. At her next event, in Brasov, Romania, she won a silver medal. Her placements qualified her for the Junior Grand Prix Final. At the Final, Korobeynikova placed 5th in the short program and 3rd in the free to win the bronze medal.
