Vladislav Korshunov (Russian: Владислав Коршунов) (born 13 February 1983) is a Russian rugby union player. He plays as a hooker.

Korshunov has 54 caps for Russia, since his debut, in 2002, with 5 tries scored, 25 points in aggregate. He is currently the captain of the Russia side and was a key player in the team that achieved the qualification for the 2011 Rugby World Cup, in New Zealand, for the first time.

He played for London Wasps, a professional team in England, participating as a replacement in AVIVA Premiership and Anglo Welsh games, and as a starter in a European Challenge Cup match. However, at the end of the season it was announced that Korshunov was not going to be a part of the Wasps squad for the 2012-2013 season due to a financial accommodation.
