Dmitri Vladimirovich Yaroshenko (Russian: Дмитрий Владимирович Ярошенко; born 4 November 1976) is a Russian former biathlete.
He broke through during the 2006–07 season at the age of 30, after winning a European Championship silver medal in 2004. He won one victory in the Biathlon World Cup, the Hochfilzen sprint in 2007.
However, ahead of the 2009 World Championships, it was announced that Yaroshenko had tested positive for a banned substance. Yaroshenko subsequently received a two-year ban from competition. After being unable to return to his former level and the World Cup, bar one race, after the end of the ban, Yaroshenko retired after the 2012–13 season.
