Ludmila Engquist (born April 21, 1964 in Tambov Oblast, Russia) is a Swedish athlete who won gold medals in 100m hurdles at the 1991 World Championships (for the Soviet Union under the name Ludmila Narozhilenko) and 1997 World Championships as well as the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.
After a successful career she wanted to be the first woman ever to win both the summer and winter Olympics' gold medal by competing in and winning the inaugural two-woman bobsleigh event at the 2002 Winter Olympics, but she was banned from competition after being found guilty of using banned drugs, for the second time in her career.
She currently lives in Spain with her husband Johan Engquist.
