Mariya Ohurtsova ({{langx|uk|Марія Огурцова}}; born 4 January 1983 in Zaporizhia) is a Ukrainian former swimmer, who specialized in sprint butterfly events.{{cite sports-reference|title = Mariya Ohurtsova|url = https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/oh/mariya-ohurtsova-1.html|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200418001709/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/oh/mariya-ohurtsova-1.html|url-status = dead|archive-date = 18 April 2020|access-date = 21 June 2013}} She represented Ukraine, as a 17-year-old, at the 2000 Summer Olympics, and also trained for the Ukraïna Zaporizhzhia swim team during her sporting career.

Ohurtsova competed only in the women's 100 m butterfly at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. She achieved a FINA B-cut of 1:02.23 from the Ukrainian National Championships in Kyiv.{{cite web|title=Swimming – Women's 100m Butterfly Startlist (Heat 3)|url=http://www.omegatiming.com/File/Download?id=000100060043000000FFFFFFFFFFFF00|format=PDF|work=Sydney 2000|publisher=Omega Timing|accessdate=14 June 2013}} She challenged seven other swimmers in heat three, including Thailand's three-time Olympian Praphalsai Minpraphal. Coming from fifth at the final turn, Ohurtsova faded down the stretch to pick up a sixth seed in 1:03.00, almost a full second below her entry standard. Ohurtsova failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed thirty-eighth overall on the first day of prelims.{{cite web|title=Sydney 2000: Swimming – Women's 100m Butterfly Heat 3 |url=http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/2000/Masters/sw/SWresults.pdf |format=PDF |work=Sydney 2000 |publisher=LA84 Foundation |page=224 |accessdate=19 April 2013 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110819181023/http://la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/2000/Masters/sw/SWresults.pdf |archivedate=19 August 2011 }}{{cite news|last=Newberry|first=Paul|title=Thompson anchors U.S. relay win; Thorpe wins 400 free|url=http://www.canoe.ca/2000GamesSwimming/sep16_tho.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130615211705/http://www.canoe.ca/2000GamesSwimming/sep16_tho.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=June 15, 2013|publisher=Canoe.ca|date=16 September 2000|accessdate=28 May 2013}}
