Ilia Malinin (born December 2, 2004) is an American figure skater. He is a 2026 Olympic Games team event gold medalist, two-time World champion (2024, 2025), three-time Grand Prix Final champion (2023, 2024, 2025), seven-time Grand Prix gold medalist, four-time Challenger Series gold medalist, and four-time U.S. national champion (2023–26). At the junior level, Malinin is the 2022 World Junior champion and a two-time Junior Grand Prix gold medalist. He holds the current world junior record for the men's free skate and combined score, as well as the senior record for the men's free skate.

Malinin is the only skater to successfully land a fully rotated quadruple Axel in international competition, accomplishing this feat at the 2022 CS U.S. International Classic and performing it multiple times since. In September 2022, he was named to Time magazine's Time 100 Next List. He is nicknamed "Quad God", a reference to his signature quadruple jumps.
