Stanislav Ivanovych Hurenko (Ukrainian: Станісла́в Іва́нович Гуре́нко; Russian: Станисла́в Ива́нович Гуре́нко, romanized: Stanislav Ivanovich Gurenko; 30 May 1936 – 14 April 2013), was a Soviet Ukrainian politician and member of the Soviet Communist Party.

Mikhail Gorbachev brought in his ally Hurenko in to replace Vladimir Ivashko as First Secretary of the Ukrainian Communist Party on 22 June 1990. He resigned his position as First Secretary on 1 September 1991 following the complete cancellation of the Soviet form-of-government and the independence of Ukraine from the Soviet Union.

Then he served as the member of Verkhovna Rada.

Hurenko retired and died on 14 April 2013, at the age of 76 after suffering from cancer.
