Sergei Mikhailovich Pleshakov (Russian: Сергей Михайлович Плешаков, 2 November 1957 — 29 May 2018) was a retired Russian field hockey defender. Together with his twin brother Vladimir he competed in the 1980, 1988 and 1992 Summer Olympics and won a bronze medal in 1980.[1]

In 1975 Pleshakov started playing for the club Torpedo Syzran, but in 1977 moved to SKA Sverdlovsk, where he was serving with the Soviet Army. He retired in 1994 to become a coach of SKA Sverdlovsk. The team was disbanded in 1998, and Pleshakov became an association football administrator.[2]
