Oleksandr Pavlovych Yakovenko (Ukrainian: Олександр Павлович Яковенко; born 23 June 1987) is a Ukrainian footballer who played for Ukrainian club Dynamo Kyiv as a left winger.

He has also played for FC Metalist Kharkiv, and SK Lierse in the past. In the January Transfer window for the 2007-2008 season, he was loaned out to Anderlecht and made an immediate impact constantly being selected as a starter as well as scoring goals in the domestic league and the UEFA Cup. The following summer Anderlecht signed him on a four-year full-time contract.

After being loaned out for two seasons to Westerlo, Iakovenko chose to be loaned out to Oud-Heverlee Leuven in 2012.

On 2 February 2016, Yakovenko signed a contract with Ukrainian club Dynamo Kyiv until the end of the 2015/16 season with the option to extend it, signing as a free agent after terminating his contract with his former club Fiorentina. On the 30th of May it was announced that Dynamo had freed Yakovenko instead of signing a new contract. Whilst in Dynamo, he played in the 1/8 of the UEFA Champions League, who got knocked out 1-3 on aggregate against Manchester City, and won the Ukrainian Premier League which was also his first club title that he won as a player.

He is the older son of the former Ukrainian footballer and current coach Pavlo Yakovenko. His younger brother Yuriy Yakovenko is also footballer
