Marina Alexeevna Eltsova (Russian: Марина Алексеевна Ельцова; born 4 February 1970) is a Russian former pair skater. She represented the Soviet Union until its fall, and, after that, Russia. With partner Andrei Bushkov, she is the 1996 World champion and a two-time (1993 and 1997) European champion.

Eltsova and Bushkov missed the 1997–1998 Champions Series Final because Bushkov had a groin injury.^[1] They withdrew from the 1998 European Championships – Bushkov's right blade broke during the short program.^[2] The pair competed at the 1998 Winter Olympics, where they placed seventh. They were coached by Natalia Pavlova in Saint Petersburg.^[1]

Eltsova previously skated with Sergei Zaitsev, representing the Soviet Union.
