Gergana Kirilova (born 18 June 1972) is a Bulgarian female weightlifter, competing in the 63 kg category and representing Bulgaria at international competitions. She competed at world championships, most recently at the 2006 World Weightlifting Championships.[1]

Kirilova tested positive for a steroid in 2008 during an out-of-competition test, along with ten other weightlifters, and therefore Bulgaria's weightlifting federation withdrew its team from the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. Apart from Cholakov the athletes who tested positive were Ivailo Filev, Alan Tsagaev, Velichko Cholakov, Ivan Stoitsov, Ivan Markov, Georgi Markov, Demir Demirev, Milka Maneva, Donka Mincheva and Mehmed Fikretov.[2]
