Elena Germanovna Buianova (Russian: Елена Германовна Буянова, née Vodorezova, Водорезова; born 21 May 1963) is a Russian figure skating coach and retired competitive skater who represented the Soviet Union.

Vodorezova was coached by Stanislav Zhuk at the Armed Forces sports society in Moscow.

A gifted free-skater, she represented her country at the 1976 Winter Olympics aged just 12.

She missed the 1979–1981 seasons completely due to severe juvenile arthritis, which prevented her from even walking for months in 1979.

That year, she married a former skater, Sergey Buianov, and in 1987 gave birth to a son, Ivan.
