Janne Immonen (born May 29, 1968) is a Finnish cross country skier who competed from 1993 to 2003. He was best known for his doping role in the 2001 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships doping scandal that would affect five other Finnish skiers for taking hydroyethyl starch (HES), a blood plasma expander. Immonen was part of the 4 x 10 km team that finished first, but would be disqualified for his blood doping and would receive a two year suspension from the FIS as a result. He also finished 10th in the 30 km event at those same championships.
