Joachim Nshimirimana (born January 13, 1973) is a Burundian athlete who specialized in marathon and long-distance running.[1] He represented Burundi at two Olympic games (2004 in Athens, and 2008 in Beijing).

At age 31, Nshimirimana first competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, where he finished thirty-second and completed the run in the men's marathon, with a time of 2:19:31. At his second Olympics in Beijing, on the other hand, he finished the men's marathon, just 12 seconds behind Israel's Haile Satayin, with a time of 2:29:55.[2]

In 2006, Nshimirimana won his first championship title at the Ljubljana Marathon, with his personal best time of 2:14:14.[3]
