Justin Warsylewicz (born 19 October 1985 in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada) is a Canadian speedskater.
In February 2004, at the age of eighteen, he became Canadian All Round Champion in 2004 after winning the World Junior Championships earlier that year. His win left the talented Dutchman Sven Kramer behind him in second place. The student of kinesiology missed the first half of the 2004/2005 season when he was diagnosed with a heart irregularity. This required surgical procedures on November 17th and December 8th in which a catheter was wired into his heart. Nevertheless he participated in the Canadian All Round Championship at the end of December, and successfully defended his title.
He also participated in the 2006 Winter Olympics and won a silver medal in men's team pursuit speed skating.
