Vera Yuryevna Rebrik (Russian: Вера Юрьевна Ребрик; Ukrainian: Віра Юріївна Ребрик; born 25 February 1989) is a Russian track and field athlete who competes in the javelin throw.[1][2] Her personal best throw is 67.30 metres, achieved at the Russian Championships in Adler. She also holds the world under-20 record of 63.01 metres.[3]

From Yalta, Crimea, she competed for Ukraine until 2014, after which she transferred her eligibility to Russia, following the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation.

Due to Russia currently being suspended from all international athletic competitions, Rebrik participates as a neutral athlete.[4]
