Roman Eremenko (Russian: Рома́н Ерёменко) (born March 19, 1987 in Moscow, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union) is a Russian-born Finnish footballer who currently plays for A.C. Siena of the Italian Serie A, on loan from Udinese Calcio. He plays in the position of attacking midfielder.

Eremenko moved to Finland with his family at the age of three when his father, former FC Dynamo Moscow and FC Spartak Moscow player Alexei Eremenko Sr., came to play in Finland with FF Jaro. He was granted Finnish citizenship in 2003, but still holds Russian passport as well. He is the younger brother of Alexei Eremenko Jr.

Eremenko made his Veikkausliiga debut for Jaro in 2004 at the age of 17. In the early 2005 season he was already one of the team's key players. In the summer of 2005 Eremenko signed a five-year deal with Udinese. He made his Serie A debut on the first day of the 2006-07 season against Messina. He was loaned at A.C. Siena on January 31, 2007.
