Olga Chernysheva (born 1962 in Moscow, Russia) is a contemporary artist who lives and works in Moscow.

Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums internationally, including Museum of Modern Art, New York; Lunds Konsthall, Sweden; Moscow Biennale for Contemporary Art; Biennale of Museum Folkwang, Essen; Kunsthalle Hamburg; Solomon R Guggenheim Museum, New York.
