Elena Borisovna Skrynnik (Russian: Елена Борисовна Скрынник; maiden name Novitskaya) (born 30 August 1961) is the first female minister of agriculture of the Russian Federation between March 2009 and May 2012.

In 1992, Skrynnik graduated from the State Academy of Agriculture of the Russian Federation and interned in Germany and France in the field of leasing technologies this made her a rare specialist in her field.
After graduation Skrynnik worked at the Chelyabinsk Polytechnical Institute clinic and later as deputy chief surgeon of Chelyabinsk Metallurgy Enterprise clinic. She then continued her medical career in cardiology at a regional clinic.
In 1994, she founded an Inter-regional Medical Leasing company named Medleasing. She was even named "Madam Leasing" and accused of money laundering. However, the inspection and audit of the Accounting Chamber did not confirm these allegations. As a result, the article was received by leading experts as an attempt to slow down the development of the leasing industry in Russia by attacking Elena Skrynnik as the actual creator, ideological inspirer and the best Russian specialist in this field. In 1998, she was given an international award for the best leasing project. Since 1997, she chaired the Russian Association of Leasing Companies and in 1998 she became the chairwoman of Experts Council for Leasing.

Since 2000, she has also been a board member of the Union of Russian Manufacturers and Entrepreneurs. In 2002, she became the general director of the state-run company Rosagroleasing. According to the newspaper «Kommersant, «Rosagroleasing» under the guidance of Skrynnik had significantly higher turnover and greater transparency of operations compared with the same indicators under the guidance of Valery Nazarov. One of the largest regional operators of Rosagroleasing reported, that «if in 2008 his company granted a lease of «about three thousand «harvesters per year, then in 2012, «the quantity went into dozens of pieces».
