Olga Vasilyevna Klevakina (Russian: Ольга Васильевна Клевакина; born 4 April 1962) is a Soviet retired swimmer. She competed at the 1980 Summer Olympics in six events: 100 m, 200 m, 400 m and 4 × 100 m freestyle and 400 m and 4 × 100 m medley, and reached finals in all events but the 4 × 100 m freestyle relay, because her team was disqualified in the preliminaries for an improper changeover. She won a bronze medal in the 4 × 100 m medley relay, where she swam for the Soviet team in the preliminaries, and finished fourth in the 100 m and 200 m freestyle.[2]

She also won three medals at the 1977 and 1981 European Aquatics Championships in individual and team medley events,[1] as well as three medals at the 1981 Summer Universiade.

Klevakina was born in Belarus and then moved to Moscow.[1][3]
