Lyudmyla Yuriïvna Lusnikova (Ukrainian: Людмила Юріївна Луснікова; born January 7, 1982 in Zaporizhia) is a Ukrainian judoka, who played for the extra-lightweight category (48 kg). At age eighteen, Lusnikova made her official debut at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where she reached into the semi-final rounds, losing out to Japan's Ryoko Tani. She qualified for the repechage bout, after finding out that her previous opponent made further into the final round. In the second round of repechage bouts, Lusnikova was defeated by China's Zhao Shunxin, who scored a yuko to win a match at the closing time of four minutes.
