Yelena Miroshina (Template:Lang-ru, June 5, 1974 - December 18, 1995) was a Russian diver, best known for twice winning the gold medal at the European Championships in the women's 10 m platform.[1] and winning Olympic silver in Barcelona where her powerful diving took her from 8th after 4 rounds of the final to 2nd.
Miroshina competed in two consecutive Summer Olympics, and represented two countries: the Soviet Union (1988) and the Unified Team (1992). She was affiliated with Spartak during her career.

On 18 December 1995, a 21-year-old Miroshina was found dead under the windows of her apartment in Moscow, where the cause of her death remains unknown.[1]
