Larisa Yuryevna Belokon (Russian: Лариса Юрьевна Белоконь; born 1964) is a Soviet breaststroke swimmer who mostly competed in the 100 m and 200 m breastroke and 4 × 100 m medley relay. In these events she won a bronze and two silver medals at the 1981 European Aquatics Championships[1] and three gold medals at the 1983 Summer Universiade. She missed the 1984 Summer Olympics due to the boycott by the Soviet Union and took part in the Friendship Games instead, winning three medals in the same three events.[2]

She lives in Moscow and since 2011 competes in swimming in the masters category. After marriage she changed her last name to Pashkanova (Russian: Пашканова).[2]
