Yelizaveta Tishchenko (born 7 February 1975; last name also spelled Tichtchenko) is a retired female volleyball player from Russia who made her debut for the Soviet national team in 1991.

She competed in three consecutive Olympic Games (1996, 2000,[1] and 2004), and twice won a silver medal.

[2] Tishchenko represented her country more than 470 times from 1991 through 2004, playing as middle blocker in the starting six of the national team, and leading the Sbornaya as its captain in 2003 and 2004.

Tishchenko's greatest achievement, however, was coming back to play for Russia at the Olympic Games in Athens after having had open surgery on her knees only three months before.

Doctors were incredulous after she won the silver medal in a dramatic final against China.
