Lilia Fisikovici (born 29 March 1989) is a Moldovan long-distance runner who specialises in the half marathon and the marathon, and is currently the holder of the Moldovan national record for both events. She competed in the women's marathon event at the 2016 Summer Olympics. She qualified to represent Moldova again at the 2020 Summer Olympics.
In 2018, at the Ljubljana Marathon held in the capital of Slovenia, she set a new Moldovan marathon record with a time of 2:28:26, a time she cut by exactly a minute the next year to 2:27.26 in the 2019 London Marathon. In 2020, she competed in the women's half marathon at the 2020 World Athletics Half Marathon Championships held in Gdynia, Poland, finishing in 1 hour, 13 minutes and 32 seconds. She has won the Cracovia Marathon in Kraków Poland in 2018 and 2022. Over the years Fisikovici's greatest success as an elite athlete seems to have come mainly in the half marathon distance.
