Tiffany Anastasia Zahorski (born 16 August 1994) is a British-French-Russian ice dancer who competes with Jonathan Guerreiro for Russia. With former partner Alexis Miart, she placed fourth at the 2011 World Junior Championships representing France.

Zahorski was born on 16 August 1994 in London, England. She is an only child. Her father, Bohdan Zahorski, trained and subsequently coached at Queens Ice Skating rink in central London until he died on 15 January 2010. One of his early coaches was Gladys Hogg M.B.E. Her paternal great grandfather, , was a renowned Polish chess player and activist who lived in exile in Moscow, Russia. Her paternal grandfather, Jerzy Dominik Zahorski, was born in Moscow, Russia in 1917 and was exiled to England in the wake of World War II, in which he served as an RAF pilot. His sister, Elizabeth Maria Zahorska, was sentenced to death and shot by the Germans during the 1939 Warsaw uprising for defacing German propaganda posters in a deliberate act of defiance. As she faced the firing squad her last defiant words were "Poland has not yet perished". She was posthumously awarded the Polish "Cross of Valour".

In late 2012, Zahorski played the role of Vanessa, an ice skater in a French comedy detective film Je fais le mort directed by Jean-Paul Salome, which was released on December 11, 2013.

Zahorski became a French citizen on 19 June 2013 and a Russian citizen in April 2016. She speaks English, French, and Russian.

Zahorski began skating in 1996 at the age of two. She was taught by her father, Bohdan, in both London and Cardiff until the age of ten, when she moved to Sheffield to train with Jimmy Young. Under Young's tutelage, she became the British Novice Solo Dance Champion in 2005, the British Primary Solo Dance Silver medallist in 2006 and the Lake Placid Novice Solo Dance Bronze medallist in 2007. In September 2007, aged just 13, she relocated with her mother to France to train with Muriel Zazoui and Romain Haguenauer.
