Ludmila Ezhova Grebenkova, Russian: Людмила Ежова Гребенкова (Lyudmila Yezhova Grebenkova), born 4 March 1982, is a Russian gymnast of olympic calibre.

A mainstay of the Russian team from the late 1990s to the mid-2000s, she helped her team to a Silver Medal at the 2001 World Championships and to a Bronze Medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics. She also competed for Russia at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing where she competed only balance beam.

She was particularly noted for her work on balance beam where she was a four (4) time world and European medalist, including being champion once. Her balance beam routines were characterized by a wide array of difficult acrobatic skills connected in immediate, unusual sequencing.
