Veniamin Chernyshev (; born 9 December 2008) is a Ukrainian professional footballer who plays for Pacific FC in the Canadian Premier League.
Chernyshev was born in Kramatorsk, Ukraine and grew up in Kiev, before moving to Kelowna, British Columbia in Canada in 2022, due to the Russia-Ukraine War. He began playing youth soccer in Canada with Okanagan United FC, before joining the Vancouver Island Wave program, after being scouted by Jamar Dixon, the Director of Football for Pacific FC. In 2025, he was named to the British Columbia roster for the 2025 Canada Summer Games.
He is currently in the process of becoming a permanent resident of Canada.
In May 2025, Chernyshev signed a developmental contract with Pacific FC of the Canadian Premier League. He received a special dispensation to sign the developmental contract, which is reserved for domestic youth players allowing them to maintain their youth eligibility, as he was in the process of applying for Canadian permanent residency after leaving Ukraine due to the war. On 26 July 2025, he made his professional debut for the club.
