Serhiy Oleksandrovych Krasyuk (also Sergey; Ukrainian: Сергій Олександрович Красюк; born 17 November 1961) is an Ukrainian former swimmer. He won a gold and silver medal at the 1980 Summer Olympics in the 4 × 100 m medley and 4 × 200 m freestyle relays, respectively; in both events he swam for the Soviet Unions team in the preliminary rounds. Individually he finished in sixth place in the 100 m freestyle.[1]

After the Olympics he won several medals at the world and European championships.[2] He missed the 1984 Summer Olympics due to their boycott by the Soviet Union and competed in the Friendship Games instead, winning a gold, silver and bronze medal.
