Svetlana Sergeeva (born 26 March 1986) in Kargopol, Arkhangelsk Oblast is a Paralympian athlete from Russia, competing mainly in category T37 throwing and sprint events.
At the London Games she won a track gold as part of the sprint relay and has also achieved success as an individual athlete at both World and European events.

In 2011 Sergeeva travelled with the Russian team to Christchurch, New Zealand to compete in the 2011 IPC Athletics World Championships, there she entered three sprinting events and the javelin.
Along with compatriots Anastasiya Ovsyannikova, Elena Ivanova and Margarita Goncharova, the team finished in first from a field of three to qualify for the 2012 Summer Paralympics and take Sergeeva's first gold medal at a major international competition.

The following year Sergeeva entered the 2014 IPC Athletics European Championships held in Swansea, this time a more sympathetic program of events allowed her to compete for three titles, the javelin T37, 100m T37 and the women's 4 × 100 m relay T35–38.
