The Deriugina School, also known as the Deriugins' School is a rhythmic gymnastics club in Kyiv, Ukraine. It was run for many years by the mother and daughter team of Albina Deriugina, who was the head coach for many years and died in 2023 at the age of 91,[1] and Irina Deriugina, who acted as the assistant coach and later became the head coach.[2] Irina's daughter, Iryna Blokhina, works in the school as a senior choreographer.

Every year since 1992 the club plays host to the biggest rhythmic gymnastics competition in Ukraine, The Deriugina Cup (Кубок Дерюгіної).

The main training centre of the club is the October Palace in Kyiv.[3]
