Tatyana Lebedeva (Russian: Татьяна Романовна Лебедева, born July 21, 1976 in Volgograd) is a Russian athlete who competes on the world stage in both the long jump and triple jump disciplines.

In the finals of the 2004 World Indoor Championships, after equalling Ashia Hansen's triple jump indoor world record with her first jump, Tatyana then improved on this twice finishing with a mark of 15.36 metres.

In 2004 for the second Summer Olympic Games in a row, Tatyana went into the triple jump competition as favourite but could only pick up a minor medal. This time she received the bronze which was one place lower that her silver medal won in Sydney four years earlier.

In 2005, she missed the World Championships due to injury, but became the sole winner of the IAAF Golden League jackpot, a bonus of USD 1 million awarded to athletes who win their event at each of six designated European summer meets. That year, she concentrated on the triple jump.

In September, 2002 Tatyana gave birth to a daughter, whom she named Nastya.
