Tatiana Alexeyevna Minina (Russian: Татьяна Алексеевна Минина, IPA: [tɐˈtʲjanə ˈmʲinʲɪnə]; née Kudashova; born 18 April 1997) is a Russian taekwondo athlete. She won the silver medal at the 2017 World Taekwondo Championships in the women's bantamweight category when she was beaten by Zeliha Ağrıs from Turkey.

She is a three-time European champion, winning the gold medal at the 2016, the 2018 and the 2021 European Taekwondo Championships, all in the –53 kg weight category.

She won one of the bronze medals in the women's bantamweight event at the 2023 World Taekwondo Championships held in Baku, Azerbaijan. After the championships, World Taekwondo was to investigate the claim that competing Russian athletes, including Minina, violated the principles of neutrality because they had liked multiple pro-war posts on socia media. In August 2023, Minina also readily accepted awards from the Governor of Chelyabinsk Oblast Aleksey Teksler who is sanctioned by the US and UK for backing Russian invasion of Ukraine. In 2021, Minina had thanked Sergei Shoigu for a medal of Ministry of Defence and posted pictures with him in her social media.
