Dieudonné Gnammankou (born 1963) is a Beninese historian and translator.

Gnammankou was born in 1963 in Benin. He studied in the former Soviet Union, earning a degree from the Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow.

Gnammankou's work has centered on African studies and the history of the African Diaspora.

In 1996, he published a seminal biography of the Russian military leader Abram Petrovich Gannibal. The Russian translation coincided with the 1999 bicentennial anniversary of the birth of the writer Alexander Pushkin, Gannibal's great-grandson. Gnammankou's research, together with that of Hugh Barnes, conclusively established that Gannibal was born in Logone-Birni, Central Africa, in an area bordering Lake Chad, nowadays Cameroon.
