Oleg Grigorevich Tyurin (Russian: Олег Григорьевич Тюрин, 29 June 1937 – 3 March 2010) was a Russian rower who had his best achievements in the double sculls, partnering with Boris Dubrovskiy. In this event, they won an Olympic gold in 1964 and four medals at European and world championships in 1962–1965.[1][2]

Tyurin was born and raised in Saint Petersburg, but was invited to train in Moscow and join Dubrovsky in double sculls. After retiring from competitions he returned to St. Petersburg where he worked as a rowing coach.[3]
