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.[1]

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".[2]

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.[3]
