Marharyta Ryhorauna Tsishkevich (Belarusian: Маргарыта Рыгораўна Цішкевіч; born 13 February 1992) is a Belarusian sprint canoeist. Tsishkevich represented Belarus at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, where she competed only in two individual sprint kayak events. For her first event, the women's K-1 500 metres, Tsishkevich advanced directly into the semi-final rounds, after placing sixth in the heats, with a time of 2:01.216. She was disqualified from the second semi-final race for breaking the four-metre "centre-lane" rule. In the first ever women's K-1 200 metres, Tsishkevich repeated her last-place finish in the same heat by approximately twenty-one hundredths of a second (0.21) behind Denmark's Henriette Engel Hansen, clocking at 43.033 seconds.
