Radya Nikolayevna Yeroshina (Russian: Радья Николаевна Ерошина; born in 1930) was a former Soviet cross country skier who competed in the 1950s and 1960s, training at Lokomotiv in Moscow.

She won four Winter Olympic medals with three silvers in the 10 km (1956 and the 3x5 km (1956, 1960) and a bronze in the 10 km (1960). She also won the 10 km event at the Holmenkollen ski festival in 1958.

Yeroshina also won two medals at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships with a gold in the 3x5 km (1958) and a bronze in the 10 km (1962). The 1962 medal was later revoked as a result of testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs.
