'''Viktoriya Anatoliïvna Pavlysh''' ({{langx|uk|Вікторія Анатопіївна Павпиш}}; born 15 January 1969 in [[Kharkiv|Kharkov]], [[Ukrainian SSR]], [[Soviet Union]]) is a former Ukrainian [[track and field]] athlete who specialized in the [[shot put]].

Pavlysh was stripped of her [[1999 IAAF World Indoor Championships]] gold medal after she had tested positive for [[anabolic steroid]] [[stanozolol]] at the event in [[Maebashi]], [[Japan]]. She claimed that she may have taken the drug to aid her recovery from injury. For this offence she received a two-year ban.

Five years later at the [[2004 IAAF World Indoor Championships]] in [[Budapest]], [[Hungary]] she won the title again only to fail the [[drug test]] for the same reason. She was again stripped of her title and banned from athletics for life.<ref name=IAAFN2004Jul>[http://www.iaaf.org/download/download?filename=3d003f39-e9b1-4b17-8fd8-c8a6a697acb8.pdf&urlslug=2004 IAAF News n.69 July 2004, p.7: POSITIVE CASES IN ATHLETICS, SANCTIONED DEFINITIVELY, ACCORDING TO INFORMATION RECEIVED BY THE IAAF AS OF 16 July 2004]</ref>
