Olga Fyodorovna Kovitidi (Ukrainian: Ольга Федорівна Ковітіді; Russian: Ольга Фёдоровна Ковитиди; born on 7 May 1962), is a Russian and former Ukrainian politician, who currently serves as Russian Federation Senator from Crimea since 2014. Kovitidi was previously a member of the Verkhovna Rada of Crimea from 2006 until 2014, when it was dissolved amidst the generally internationally unrecognised Russian annexation of Crimea, which she supported. During her tenure in the Rada, she briefly served as her peninsula's Deputy Prime Minister in 2014.

A longtime pro-Russian politician, she has generated controversy for expressing anti-Ukrainian sentiment on TV.
