Roman Skorniakov (; born 17 February 1976) is a Russian-born figure skater who initially competed for Russia but switched to representing Uzbekistan in 1996.

Personal life

Skorniakov was born on February 17, 1976 in Sverdlovsk, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union.

In January 2000, Skorniakov married Tatiana Malinina. Their daughter, Elli Beatrice, was born in 2014.

Competitive skating career

Skorniakov is the 1997–2003 Uzbek national champion. He represented Uzbekistan at the 1998 and 2002 Winter Olympics, both times finishing in nineteenth place. His highest placement at an ISU Championship came at the 2000 and 2002 Four Continents Championships where he placed seventh.

In the later years of their careers, Skorniakov and Malinina coached each other following the death of their former coach Igor Ksenofontov. Following the 2002–03 figure skating season, Skorniakov retired from competitive figure skating due to wanting to focus on starting a family with his wife.

Coaching career

Following his competitive figure skating career, Skorniakov and Malinina began working as coaches at the SkateQuest Skating Club in Reston, Virginia. In addition to coaching their children, their students have also included Sarah Everhardt, Audrey Shin, Lucius Kazanecki, and Sofia Bezkorovainaya.

In March 2025, Skorniakov and Malinina won the Best Coaching Award at the ISU Skating Awards.
