Lyubov Vladimirovna Kozyreva (Russian: Любо́вь Влади́мировна Ко́зырева), Lyubov Baranova from 1960 onwards (27 August 1929 – 22 June 2015), was a Soviet cross-country skier who competed in the 1950s and 1960s with VSS Burevestnik. She was born in the settlement of Bugry, Vsevolozhsky District, Leningrad Oblast and died in Moscow.
She won four Winter Olympic medals with a gold in the 10 km (1956) and silvers in the 10 km (1960) and the 3 × 5 km relay (1956, 1960). She also won the 10 km event at the Holmenkollen ski festival in 1955, becoming the first Soviet athlete to win at the Holmenkollen. Her biggest successes were at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships where she won six medals, including four golds (10 km: 1954, 3 × 5 km relay: 1954, 1958, 1962) and two silvers (10 km: 1958, 5 km: 1962).
