Eugenia Volodina (Russian: Евгения Володина, born September 17, 1984 in Kazan, Russia) is a Russian supermodel.

Volodina's modeling career began in 2000 when she was fifteen years old. As her first step into the modeling industry, she attended an open call at one of Russia's most prestigious casting agencies.[citation needed] She was soon sent to Paris, where Volodina began to establish her career. Increased attention came in 2002 when fashion photographer Steven Meisel featured her in Italian Vogue. Shortly thereafter, Volodina took part in a Gucci ad campaign alongside fellow Russian Natalia Vodianova.

Since then she has remained an on-demand model on the runway and has been featured in the editorials of magazines such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and Elle; also in the catalogs of Bloomingdale's, Louis Vuitton, Neiman Marcus, and Victoria's Secret. Volodina's lengthy résumé includes advertising campaigns for Escada, Bvlgari, Bill Blass, Versace, Valentino, Yves Saint Laurent, Salvatore Ferragamo, Fendi, Gucci, Chanel eyewear, Dolce & Gabbana, Oscar de la Renta, and Céline.

Volodina was planned to be the newest "face" of the Dior J'adore perfume a few years ago but the company ultimately decided to renew model Carmen Kass's contract. Instead, Volodina signed with Yves Saint Laurent Cosmetics that same year.

Valentino chose her as the face of his fragrance Valentino V, in addition, lingerie brand Victoria's Secret featured Volodina in their 2002, 2003 and 2005 fashion shows.
