Lyudmila Shishova (Russian: Людмила Николаевна Шишова; 1 June 1940 – 21 February 2004) was a Soviet fencer and fencing coach. She won gold in the team foil at the 1960 Summer Olympics and a silver in the same event at the 1964 Summer Olympics.[1][2]

Shishova tried several sports before coming to a fencing school in 1954. From 1960 to 1964 she was a member of the Soviet foil team. In 1969 she received a degree in gynecology from the Nizhny Novgorod State Medical Academy,[3] and after retiring from competitions worked both as a gynecologist and a fencing coach. Her husband, Vitaly Zinkov, and daughter Elvira Zinkova, both competed at the national level in fencing.[4]
