Vladislav Nikolayevich Antonov (Russian: Владислав Николаевич Антонов; born 21 September 1991) is a Russian luger. Antonov, together with Alexander Denisyev, participated in the doubles and in team relay competitions at the 2014 Winter Olympics. Denisyev and Antonov placed fifth in the doubles, and, together with Tatiana Ivanova and Albert Demchenko they won the silver medal in the team relay.
Antonov was later stripped of that medal by the International Olympic Committee, after Albert Demchenko and Tatiana Ivanova were banned for doping violations on 22 December 2017, and the results of the Russian team were annulled. On 1 February 2018, their results were restored as a result of the successful appeal.
He and Alexander Denisyev became the first Russians in post-Soviet era to win a WC stage, doing this in the Sochi stage of the 2018–19 Luge World Cup.
