Irina Andreyevna Avvakumova née Taktayeva (Russian: Ирина Андреевна Аввакумова (Тактаева); born 14 September 1991) is a Russian ski jumper. She is a multiple-time Russian national ski jumping champion, and won the women's Continental Cup season in 2012/13. At the 2013 Winter Universiade in Predazzo, Avvakumova won a gold medal in the team competition and bronze in the individual competition. She represented Russia at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, finishing in the 16th position. At the 2018 Winter Olympics, she became fourth. This is the best placement of any Russian Olympic ski jumper ever, and the best since 1968 (when Vladimir Belousov won a gold medal in the large hill) if the Soviet Union is included.
