Roman Olehovych Yaremchuk (Ukrainian: Роман Олегович Яремчук; born 27 November 1995) is a Ukrainian professional footballer who plays as a striker for La Liga side Valencia on loan from Belgian Pro League side Club Brugge and the Ukraine national team.

After coming through Dynamo Kyiv's youth academy, Yaremchuk began playing for the club's reserve side in 2013 and was promoted to the first team two years later. He was subsequently loaned to fellow Ukrainian side Oleksandriya during the 2016–17 season, before moving to Belgian side Gent in 2018. A year later, he moved to Benfica in a transfer worth €18.5 million, before returning to Belgium the following season, to sign for Club Brugge for a transfer worth €16 million.

After representing Ukraine at various youth levels, Yaremchuk was called up to the full international side for the first time in September 2018, and played at UEFA Euro 2020.

Yaremchuk represented Ukraine at under-16, under-17, under-18, under-19, under-20 and under-21 levels, for a total of 33 youth caps and scoring 4 goals overall. With the under-20s, he participated in the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup, helping Ukraine to a round of 16 finish, after losing to Senegal in a penalty shootout.

He made his senior international debut on 9 September 2018 in a UEFA Nations League group stage match against the Czech Republic, which Ukraine won 2–1. He scored his first goal for the national team and provided an assist on 7 June 2019, in a 5–0 win against Serbia in the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifiers. On 14 October, he scored from close range after an initial save from Rui Patrício, to help Ukraine to a 2–1 home win over reigning European champions Portugal, ensuring his team qualification to the 2020 UEFA European Championship, at top of their group. In their last qualifier, he scored on 17 November in a 2–2 away draw against Serbia in Belgrade.

Yaremchuk was included in the squad for Euro 2020. In their first group stage match, he assisted the first and scored the second goal in a 3–2 loss against the Netherlands at Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam, and scored in a 2–1 win against North Macedonia at Arena Națională in Bucharest. After finishing as one of the best third-placed teams, Ukraine was eventually eliminated in the quarter-finals by England on 3 July, after a 4–0 loss at Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Yaremchuk married Christina in 2017. Their son was born in 2019. In 2022, following Ukraine's invasion by Russia, Yaremchuck asked fellow Ukraine national teammate Andriy Yarmolenko to help save his wife's parents. Yaremchuck revealed the situation was critical and he didn't even know what to do, so he turned to Andriy Yarmolenko, knowing that he was from Chernihiv, and he helped him and days later his wife's parents were rescued.

In 2022, Yaremchuk raised a fairly large sum for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in particular for the defenders of Chernihiv, and delivered bulletproof vests for the city.
