Vitalina Olegovna Simonova (Russian: Виталина Олеговна Симонова; born 18 September 1992) is a Russian breaststroke swimmer. She finished third in the individual 200 m at the 2013 European Short Course Swimming Championships, but later received a silver medal after the winner, Yuliya Yefimova, failed a doping test.[2] She was also part of the Russian mixed medley relay team that won a bronze medal at the 2014 European Aquatics Championships.

Simonova also competes in the freestyle with fins, and won two world titles in 2012, in the 50 m and 100 m events.[1]
