Elizaveta Sergeyevna Tuktamysheva (/ˌtʊktəˈmɪʃəvə/ TUUK-tə-MISH-ə-və;[1] Russian: Елизавета Серге́евна Туктамышева, IPA: [jɪlʲɪzɐˈvʲetə tʊktɐˈmɨʂɨvə]; born 17 December 1996) is a Russian figure skater. She is the 2015 World champion, the 2021 World silver medalist, the 2015 European champion and the 2013 European bronze medalist. She has medaled 16 times on the Grand Prix series, including 5 gold medals and including gold at the 2014–15 Grand Prix Final and bronze at the 2018–19 Grand Prix Final. On national level she is an 8-time medalist in the Russian Championships and the 2013 Russian national champion, as well as 4-time medalist in the Russian Cup Finals. On the junior level, she is the 2012 Youth Olympic champion, 2011 World Junior silver medalist, and 2010–11 JGP Final silver medalist.

At the 2015 World Championships, she landed a triple axel in competition for the first time, making her the sixth woman, and second Russian woman to do so, and she became the first female skater to land four triple jumps in a short program (triple Axel, triple Lutz, and a triple toe-triple toe combination).[2] At the 2018–19 Grand Prix Final, she landed the maximum eight triple jumps cleanly in the free skate allowed under the Zayak rule, becoming the third woman to do so after Japanese Rika Kihira and American Mirai Nagasu. She, therefore, also became the first woman to land the maximum twelve triple jumps in one international competition, albeit with the triple Axel in her short program deemed under-rotated.[3] In the final event of the 2018–19 season, the 2019 World Team Trophy, she successfully landed all twelve jumps cleanly, becoming the first woman to accomplish this feat in an official international competition.[4] She is also one of only four women to achieve a Grand Slam, when winning all major competitions in the 2014-15 season.

Tuktamysheva's career is notable for its consistency and longevity, especially in contrast with the young ages and high turnover of elite Russian women's skaters in her era. Throughout 16 different seasons, she competed in 70 international events and 15 Russian Nationals, and never finished off the top 10. Additionally, she has maintained a triple axel for 8 years, landing it first in 2015, and still incorporating it in competitions in 2023.
