Yevgeniya Viktorovna Estes (Russian: Евге́ния Ви́кторовна Э́стес, born 17 July 1975), née Artamonova (Артамонова), is a Russian former volleyball player who was a member of the national team and one of only two volleyball players (along with Sergey Tetyukhin) that competed consecutively in six Olympic Games. She won silver medals at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, and the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.
Estes was briefly unable to play in 1994 due to an injury requiring knee surgery. She quickly recovered and became a dominant force on the Russian national team, leading Russia to the gold medal at the Goodwill Games in Saint Petersburg.
In 2018, Estes was inducted into the International Volleyball Hall of Fame.
