Feodosy Ivanovich Yanenko (Russian: Феодосий Иванович Яненко) was a Russian artist born in 1762 and notable for his contributions to religious and portrait painting.

In 1795, he was assigned to the Academy for his studies of the naked human figure, and by 1797, his painting "Travellers in a Storm" earned him the rank of academician.
Yanenko is best known for his religious artworks, including several images for the Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg. His prowess in portrait painting is exemplified by his work housed in the Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow—a portrait of Emperor Paul I when he was Crown Prince, painted in 1798.
His works are cherished for their historical significance and artistic quality, making them of great interest to collectors and art historians alike. For those passionate about Russian art from the late 18th century, Yanenko's contributions remain an essential part of the discussion.
