Dmitry Vladimirovich Shishin (Russian: Дмитрий Владимирович Шишин; born 14 March 1986 in Saratov) is a Russian beach soccer player currently active as forward. He is Merited Master of Sports of Russia.

Dmitry's father Vladimir brought him to football at age seven, his first coach being Alexey Tarasov. He began his career in Sokol Saratov, then he played futsal until 2006, when he discovered beach soccer. In 2007, members of the Russian Football Union discovered the talented Shishin at the tournament "Golden Sands of Samara", and invited him to the Russia national beach soccer team. That year Shishin participated at the Russian Championship as player of Samarian Sputnik and debuted for the national team at the Beach Soccer World Cup.

After Sputnik, Shishin for a long time played for different Saratov clubs, such as Rosagro, Biznes-Pravo, Delta. In 2011, Shishin moved to Lokomotiv Moscow, where he won the championship trophy with his team. Together with the Lokomotives he won another national championship trophy and two Russian cups. In 2013, Shishin surprisingly switched to Rotor Volgograd, becoming runners-up of the 2013 Championships, losing there to Kristall, as well as winners of the 2014 Championships and the 2014 Russian Cup. In the two years Shishin scored 66 goals in 43 caps.

Shishin is one of the top players for the national team. Overall, in 270 caps he scored 267 goals. He was numerous times MVP player and best forward player. At the 2013 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup, he scored the fifth and last goal against Spain, and with 11 goals became best goalscorer.

On 21 December 2012, Shishin was named Merited Master of Sports by the order of the Sports Minister.
