Yekaterina Gennadiyevna Volkova (Russian: Екатерина Геннадьевна Волкова) (born 16 February 1978 in Zheleznogorsk Kursk Oblast) is a Russian long-distance runner, who specializes in the 3000 metres steeplechase.

In her major international debut Volkova won the silver medal at the 2005 World Championships.

[citation needed] In May 2016, it was reported that Volkova was one of 14 Russian athletes, and nine medalists, implicated in doping following the retesting of urine from the 2008 Olympic Games.

Volkova was named as having failed the retest, which was undertaken following the Russian doping scandal of 2015 and 2016.
