Elena Zamolodchikova is a gymnast who has competed for Russia. She competed at the 2000 and 2004 Summer Olympic Games.

Zamolodchikova started her first Olympic trip in 2000 with higher chances of claiming multiple medals. She did not initially enter for either all-around or apparatus finals from the prelims. When her teammate Elena Prodounova withdrew from the individual all-around due to foot injury and Svetlana Khorkina relinquished her vault spot to focus on the uneven bars for her title defense, Zamolodchikova accepted the vacant spots from them as the next highest-ranked Russian gymnast. The women's team started the all-around routine with a formidable lead but four of the team members, including Zamolodchikova, incurred major errors in the final, costing them a gold. She slipped off the balance beam upon launching a Rulfova and narrowly missing her head. In the individual all-around, Zamolodchikova commanded an early lead after two rotations but a fall on her simplest tumbling pass during the floor exercise dwindled her chance of another medal, settling for the sixth overall spot. She redeemed from her uncommon setbacks in the all-around events to capture two golds on the floor and vault.

Four years later in Athens, Zamolodchikova helped the Russian women secure a podium spot with a bronze in the team all-around final. She sought to defend her floor exercise title from Sydney but narrowly missed a podium by more than six hundredths of a point margin behind her teammate and eventual bronze medalist Anna Pavlova.

Zamolodchikova attempted to qualify for her third Russian team in 2008 but a back injury during her pre-Games training effectively concluded her gymnastics career.
