Lyubov Vladimirovna Kozyreva (Russian: Любо́вь Влади́мировна Ко́зырева), Lyubov Baranova from 1960 onwards (August 27, 1929 – June 22, 2015), was a Soviet cross-country skier who competed in the 1950s and 1960s for VSS Burevestnik. She was born in the settlement of Bugry, Vsevolozhsky District, Leningrad Oblast and died in Moscow.
She won four Winter Olympic medals with a gold in the 10 km (1956) and silvers in the 10 km (1960) and the 3x5 km Relay (1956, 1960). She also won the 10 km event at the Holmenkollen ski festival in 1955, becoming the first Soviet athlete to win at the Holmenkollen. Her biggest successes were at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships where she won six medals, including four golds (10 km: 1954, 3x5 km: 1954, 1958, 1962) and two silvers (10 km: 1958, 5 km: 1962).
