Alyona Viktorovna Sidko (Russian: Алёна Ви́кторовна Сидько́; born 20 September 1979, Krasnoyarsk) is a Russian cross-country skier who competed between 2000 and 2013.

Sidko won a bronze medal in the Individual Sprint at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin. She also won a bronze in the Team sprint (with Yuliya Chepalova) at the 2005 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Oberstdorf and had her best individual finish of 12th in the Individual sprint in 2003. Sidko has nineteen wins at various levels in distances in up to 10 km since 2002. She took the 2007–08 season off due to pregnancy but returned for the 2008–09 season.
