Valeriy Vasylovych Dvoynikov (Ukrainian: Валерій Васильович Двойников, born 4 May 1950 in Ozersk) is a Ukrainian judoka who competed for the Soviet Union at the 1976 Summer Olympics, winning the silver medal in the middleweight division.
Dvoynikov was also vice world champion in Vienna 1975 and European champion in Kyiv 1976.
Isao Inokuma said that "Among the foreign judoists with brilliant shin-gi-tai (spirit, skill, and power) are the Soviet Union's Vladimir Nevzorov, the victor in the light-middleweight class in the Montreal Olympics, Dvoinikov of the Soviet Union, who was runner-up in the middleweight division at the same Olympics, and Dietmar Lorenz of East Germany, who won the 95-kilograms-and-under class in the Jigoro Kano Cup International Judo Tournament held in Tokyo in 1978".
Dvoynikov is also a co-founder in 2016 with his son, a politologue and poet Valery Dvoinikov, of the Peter the Great's International Foundation working for the cultural reconciliation between Europe and Russia.
