Lyudmila Alekseyevna Pakhomova (Russian: Людмила Алексеевна Пахомова; 31 December 1946 – 17 May 1986) was a Russian ice dancer who competed for the Soviet Union. With her husband Aleksandr Gorshkov, she was the 1976 Olympic champion, one of the oldest female figure skating Olympic champions.

They are six-time World Champions (1970–1974, 1976), as well as six-time European champions (1970–1971, 1973–1976), which makes them the most decorated of all-time at both events in the pair discipline.
