Ilya Yevgenyevich Korotkov (Russian: Илья Евгеньевич Коротков; born 6 December 1983) is a Russian javelin thrower.

He represented Russia at the Olympics at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and finished seventh in the final. The following year he took silver at the inaugural European Team Championships in Leiria, Portugal, but he could not repeat his medal success at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics, where he failed to make the final of the event.[1]

At the start of the 2010 season, he threw personal best of 85.47 m in Alder, Russia, and continued his good form by throwing 83.28 m to win the gold at the 2010 European Cup Winter Throwing meeting.[2]
