Vlada Alexandrovna Chigireva (Russian: Влада Александровна Чигирёва, IPA: [ˈvladə ɐlʲɪkˈsandrəvnə tɕɪɡʲɪˈrʲɵvə]; born 18 December 1994) is a Russian competitor in synchronised swimming.

Chigireva won six gold medals at World Aquatics Championships: three in 2013 and three in 2015. She was also the solo and team champion in both the 2010 and the 2012 FINA World Junior Synchronised Swimming Championships. She also won a gold medal at the 2014 European Aquatics Championships, as well as two gold medals at the 2013 Summer Universiade. She missed the 2018 European Championships due to a knee injury in 2017 that required surgery.[1]

Chigireva spent much time in a pool since early age, as her mother is a swimming coach, and took up swimming aged five. She has a degree in sports psychology from the Russian State University of Physical Education, Sport, Youth and Tourism.[1]
