Alexey Alexeyevich Prokurorov ({{langx|ru|Алексе́й Алексе́евич Прокуро́ров}}; 25 March 1964 – 10 October 2008) was a Soviet/Russian cross-country skier who competed in the late 1980s and 1990s for both the Soviet Union and Russia.

Career

Prokurorov was born in the village of Mishino of Vladimir Oblast, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union.

Prokurorov's biggest successes were winning the gold medal in the 30 km freestyle and the silver medal in the 4 × 10 km relay at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary.

At the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, Prokurorov earned a total of six medals. This included one gold (30 km: 1997), one silver (10 km: 1997), and four bronzes (50 km: 1989, 4 × 10 km relay: 1993, 30 km: 1995, 10 km + 15 km combined pursuit: 1997). He also won the 50 km event twice at the Holmenkollen ski festival (1993, 1998). He also won the Russian championship title 13 times.

Prokurorov received the Holmenkollen medal, the highest Norwegian skiing award, in 1998 (shared with Fred Børre Lundberg, Larissa Lazutina and Harri Kirvesniemi).[http://www.skiforeningen.no/holmenkollen/holmenkollen_historikk Holmenkollen medalists] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070224190249/http://www.skiforeningen.no/holmenkollen/holmenkollen_historikk |date=February 24, 2007 }} - click Holmenkollmedaljen for downloadable pdf file {{in lang|no}}
