Dylan Armstrong (born January 15, 1981) is a Canadian athletics coach and retired competitive shot putter. He is the 2008 Olympic bronze medallist, a two-time World Athletics Championships medallist, a two-time Pan American Games champion, and the 2010 Commonwealth Games champion in that discipline. He was awarded his Olympic bronze medal in 2015, seven years after the event, following the doping disqualification of competitor Andrei Mikhnevich.

Armstrong holds the Canadian national record for the shot put, and is a former holder of the Pan American Games and Commonwealth games records. Armstrong was the first Canadian to reach the podium in a throwing event in a major global competition.
