Viktoria Yevgenyevna Volchkova (Russian: About this sound Виктория Евгеньевна Волчкова​ ; married name: Butsaeva (Russian: Буцаева); born 30 July 1982) is a Russian figure skating coach and former competitor. She is a four-time (1999–2002) European bronze medalist, the 2002 Grand Prix Final bronze medalist, the 2002 Cup of Russia champion, and a seven-time Russian national medalist. She is also the 1998 JGP Final champion and a two-time (1998–99) World Junior bronze medalist.

Volchkova was born in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg) to an engineer mother. She studied at the Institute for Physical Culture in Moscow.

Volchkova is also known as Butsaeva. She and her husband, Yuri Butsayev, have a son who was born in March 2012.

Volchkova began skating at age six in Leningrad after her parents heard a radio announcement about skating lessons. She was interested in pair skating but was too tall. After a few years, she moved to train in Moscow under coach Viktor Kudriavtsev.
