Veniamin Reshetnikov (Russian: Вениамин Сергеевич Решетников; born 28 July 1986) is a Russian sabre fencer, European champion in 2009, World champion in 2013, and winner of the 2012–13 Fencing World Cup. He is three-time team World champion (2010, 2011, and 2013) and three-time team European champion (2007, 2009, and 2012) for Russia.
Reshetnikov began fencing when he was 11 at the suggestion of his mother. His first coaches were Nikolai Suroegin, who also trained World champion Yuliya Gavrilova, and Pavel Kondratenko, who counted Olympic champion Grigory Kiriyenko amongst his pupils.
Reshetnikov graduated from the Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University, then studied public administration at the Novosibirsk State Agrarian University. He declares his hobbies to be alpine skiing and listening to music, his favourite composers being Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky.
In the 2005–06 season Reshetnikov joined the junior national team, where he became friends with Nikolay Kovalev. He won with them a team gold medal in the 2006 Junior World championships at Taebaek City. The year after, he joined the senior national team, which earned gold at the European Championships in Ghent. In 2009 he created a surprise at the European Championships in Plovdiv: ranked 61st before the competition, he won only two of his five bouts in pools and had to go through a qualification round. He then defeated Vincent Anstett, Rareș Dumitrescu, Aldo Montano, Dmitry Lapkes, Gianpiero Pastore and finally Julien Pillet to win the gold medal.
