Mariya Ohurtsova (Ukrainian: Марія Огурцова; born January 4, 1983 in Zaporizhia) is a Ukrainian former swimmer, who specialized in sprint butterfly events.[1] She represented Ukraine, as a 17-year-old, at the 2000 Summer Olympics, and also trained for the Ukraïna Zaporizhzhia swim team during her sporting career.

Ohurtsova competed only in the women's 100 m butterfly at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. She achieved a FINA B-cut of 1:02.23 from the Ukrainian National Championships in Kiev.[2] She challenged seven other swimmers in heat three, including Thailand's three-time Olympian Praphalsai Minpraphal. Coming from fifth at the final turn, Ohurtsova faded down the stretch to pick up a sixth seed in 1:03.00, almost a full second below her entry standard. Ohurtsova failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed thirty-eighth overall on the first day of prelims.[3][4]
