Yelena Grigoryevna Drapeko^{[note 1]} (Russian: Еле́на Григо́рьевна Драпе́ко; born 29 October 1948) is a Soviet and Russian theatre and film actress.^[2] She has appeared in more than 30 films and television shows since 1972. She is also a member of the State Duma since 2000.

On 29 November 2022, during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, she claimed that Ukraine as a separate country doesn't exist, that Ukraine is Russian, that the Ukrainian people would benefit from a Russian takeover, and that it was surprising that the Western countries were assisting Ukraine against the Russian attack.^[3]
