Yelena Didilenko-Korban (born April 20, 1961) is a retired track and field sprinter from the Soviet Union, known for winning the bronze medal in the women's 4x400 metres relay at the 1982 European Championships. She did so alongside Irina Olkhovnikova, Olga Mineyeva and Irina Baskakova, clocking a total time of 3:22.79.

A year later Korban repeated that feat at the inaugural World Championships, this time with Marina Ivanova-Kharlamova, Irina Baskakova, and Mariya Kulchunova-Pinigina.
