Nelli Nailevna Zhiganshina (Нелли Наильевна Жиганшина; born 31 March 1987) is a Russian-born German ice dancer.

Nelli Zhiganshina was born on 31 March 1987 in Moscow.

2005

In June 2005, Zhiganshina had a tryout with Alexander Gazsi in Moscow and agreed to skate with him for Germany.

At the start of their partnership, they trained mainly in Moscow with coaches Elena Kustarova and Svetlana Alexeeva and, during summers, in Berlin and Chemnitz due to Gazsi's army service.

They began their season at the 2011 Nebelhorn Trophy where they won the silver medal.

After placing fourth at both of their Grand Prix events, the 2011 Skate America and 2011 NHK Trophy, the duo finished eighth at the 2012 European Championships and eleventh at the 2012 World Championships.
