Dmitry Vodennikov (Russian: Дми́трий Бори́сович Воде́нников) (born 22 December 1968) is a Russian poet and essayist.

In 2002, he was named as one of the ten best living Russian poets in a poll of 110 leading Russian poets and critics, being one of just two poets under 35 in the top ten.[1] Some critics name him as "perhaps the best known poet of his generation",[2] while others claim that he recites his poems better than he writes them.[3] Herzen State Pedagogical University hold a workshop, "Dmitry Vodennikov as the new Blok, Mayakovsky and Pugacheva".[4] He is considered as the leader of New Sincerity in Russian literature.[5][6]

Vodennikov graduated from Moscow State Pedagogical Institute, philology department and for four years worked as a school teacher.[7] He writes essays and columns for several Russian magazines and hosts two radio shows dedicated to poetry: "Free Entry" on Radio Kultura and "Poetic Minimum" on Radio Rossii.
