Mikhail Antonovich Dasko (Russian: Михаил Антонович Дасько; born 26 January 1961) is a Russian former long-distance runner who competed for the Soviet Union and later Russia. He was a bronze medallist at both the European Athletics Indoor Championships in 1988 and the 1992 IAAF World Cup. He represented the Soviet Union at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

Born in Zashchebye in the Gomel Region of the Belarusian SSR,[1] he became prominent at national level in the mid-1980s with a 5000 m win at the Soviet Athletics Championships. He went on to win that title three more times, in a consecutive run from 1989 to 1991. He also did a national distance double with 10,000 metres titles in 1990 and 1991.[2] Indoors, he won the 3000 metres in 1990 and a 3000/5000 m indoor double in 1991 (meaning he won all the distance indoor and outdoor Soviet track titles that year).[3]

His first major medal (a 3000 m bronze) came at the 1988 European Athletics Indoor Championships.[4] He represented the Soviet Union later that year at the Summer Olympics and was a semi-finalist.[1] Further bronze medals followed at the 1989 European Cup then the 1990 Goodwill Games.[5][6] He would later claim another bronze, over 10,000 m, at the 1992 IAAF World Cup.[7]

Dasko competed four times at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships, twice for the Soviet Union and twice for Russia. His best finish was 32nd place at the 1991 edition. His two other global performances brought tenth in the 3000 m at the 1989 IAAF World Indoor Championships and an appearance in the first round of the 5000 m at the 1991 World Championships in Athletics.[8]

He also competed internationally at the 1986 Goodwill Games, 1992 International Chiba Ekiden and the 1994 European Cross Country Championships.[9]
