Valentina Yevhenivna Lisitsa (born 1973) is a Ukrainian pianist. Lisitsa independently launched her career on social media, without initially signing with a tour promoter or record company. By 2012, Lisitsa was among the most frequently viewed pianists on YouTube. The Toronto Symphony canceled her 2015 engagements as a soloist with them because of her social media postings in support of pro-Russian separatists during the Russo-Ukrainian War.
