Dmytro Dmytrenko[1][2] (Ukrainian: Дмитро Дмитренко, also Dmitri Dmitrenko from Russian: Дмитрий Дмитренко; born 25 July 1973)[3] is a Ukrainian former competitive figure skater. While representing the Soviet Union, he won the 1992 World Junior title.[4] For Ukraine, he won the 1993 European title and 2000 European bronze medal. He competed at the 1998 and 2002 Winter Olympics.[5]

Dmytrenko was known for developing complex spins, using rarely used parts of his skate, including the heel. He also executed complicated patterns of footwork, connecting his moves with unexpected rhythm and changes of direction. He would often compose his own music for his programs and included distorted sound effects created with synthesizers.[6]

Dmytrenko formerly coached Oleksii Bychenko. He is an International Technical Specialist.[7]
