Aliona Olehivna Savranenko (Ukrainian: Альо́на Олегівна Савране́нко; born 14 June 1991), better known by her stage name Alyona Alyona (Ukrainian pronunciation: [ɐˈlʲɔnɐ ɐˈlʲɔnɐ]; stylized in all lowercase), is a Ukrainian rapper, singer, and songwriter. She released her debut album, Pushka (Пушка), in 2019, followed by an extended play the same year, V khati MA (В хаті МА).

Alyona has been dubbed "the new rap star of Ukraine" and "the sensation of Ukrainian rap" by Ukrainian media.[2][3] In an article titled "15 European Pop Acts Who Matter Right Now", The New York Times likened her to Azealia Banks.[4][5]

She and Jerry Heil represented Ukraine in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 with the song "Teresa & Maria".
