Vera Vyacheslavovna Koval (Russian: Вера Вячеславовна Коваль; born October 22, 1983 in Bryansk) is a Russian judoka, who played for the half-middleweight category.^[1] She won two medals (silver and bronze) for her division at the 2009 European Judo Championships in Tbilisi, Georgia, and at the 2010 European Judo Championships in Vienna, Austria.^[2][3]

Koval represented Russia at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she competed for the women's half-middleweight class (63 kg).
