Dmytro Valeryovych Yakovenko (Ukrainian: Дмитро Валерійович Яковенко; born 17 September 1992) is a Ukrainian high jumper.

At the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Yakovenko competed for Ukraine, along with his fellow countrymen Andriy Protsenko and eventual bronze medalist and current European record holder Bohdan Bondarenko, in the men's high jump. Leading up to his maiden Games, Yakovenko jumped a height of 2.30 metres to attain both his personal best and the IAAF Olympic entry standard at the 2015 Ukraine Team Championships. During the qualifying phase, Yakovenko elected to pass 2.17 and 2.22 and then successfully cleared a season best of 2.26 m on his second attempt. Unable to trump the mandatory 2.29-metre barrier after three successive attempts, Yakovenko finished twentieth from a field of 43 high jumpers.
