Nadezhda Wijenberg (born Nadezhda Alexeevna Ilyina, April 2, 1964 in Verknaja Jandoba) is a long-distance runner from Russia, who got the Dutch nationality in 1999 by marrying her coach Ger Wijenberg from the Netherlands.
Nadezhda "Nadja" Wijenberg lives in Schinnen, Limburg, and ran her personal best (2:28:45) in the Eindhoven Marathon, on October 10, 1999.
