Dmitri Ivanovich Sautin (Russian: Дмитрий Иванович Саутин; born March 15, 1974) is a Russian diver who has won more medals than any other Olympic diver. He was born in Voronezh.

Sautin started diving at age seven; however, his diving career almost ended in 1991 when he was stabbed multiple times in an attack. After spending two months in the hospital, he was able to dive at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain. He has won medals at the 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, and the 2008 Olympics.

With eight Olympic medals, Sautin has won more Olympic medals than any other diver in history. Representing the Unified Team (Équipe Unifié) in 1992, he earned a bronze on the springboard. In 1996, he was the gold medalist on the platform, representing Russia. The addition of synchronized events in 2000 allowed Sautin to enter four diving events in Sydney and he won medals in all four events, topped by a gold medal in the synchronized platform event. Sautin won his seventh Olympic medal, a bronze, in 2004 on the springboard. He added an eighth to his tally, a silver, in 2008 on the 3m synchronised springboard event diving with fellow Russian partner Yuriy Kunakov. Sautin was also world champion on the springboard in 1998 and 2001, and on the platform in 1994 and 1998, and European champion on the springboard in 1995, 1997, 2000, 2002, 2006 and 2008, and on the platform in 1993, 1999 and 2000.
