Elena Pavlovna Eliseenko (born 5 May 1959) is a Russian former professional tennis player.[1] She was a singles and doubles gold medalist at the Friendship Games, an event held for countries boycotting the 1984 Olympics.[2]

Eliseenko represented the Soviet Union in a total of 14 Federation Cup ties, between 1978 and 1985. She featured in three quarter-finals, including a tie against Great Britain in 1981 where she took Sue Barker to three sets.[3] During her Federation Cup career she won two of her six singles rubbers and lost only once in eight doubles rubbers.[4]
