Roman Skorniakov (Russian: Роман Скорняков; born 17 February 1976) is a Russian-born figure skater who mainly represented Uzbekistan. He represented Russia early in his career before switching to Uzbekistan in 1996. Skorniakov is the 1997–2003 Uzbekistani national champion. He represented Uzbekistan at the 1998 and 2002 Winter Olympics, twice placing 19th. His highest placement at an ISU Championship was 7th at the 2000 and 2002 Four Continents Championships.

Skorniakov married Tatiana Malinina in January 2000.[1] Their son, Ilia Malinin (born in 2004), is a competitive figure skater for the United States.[2] Their daughter was born in 2014.

Skorniakov and Malinina coached each other during the later part of their careers after the death of former coach Igor Ksenofontov.[3][4]

Skorniakov works as a skating coach in Reston, Virginia.
