Sergey Morozov (born 21 March 1988) is a Russian race walker who competes in the 20 kilometres walk. He was the 2005 World Youth and 2007 European Junior champion in the 10,000 m walk, then walked a world's fastest time of 1:16:43 hours to win the 2008 Russian 20 km title. He was banned that year after testing positive for EPO.

He returned to competition in 2010 and represented Russia at the 2011 World Championships in Athletics.

He was banned for life in December 2012 after being caught doping for a second time, and all results since 25 February 2011 were annulled.[1] He and more than two dozen other prominent Russian walkers banned for doping were all coached by Viktor Chegin.
