Kanstantsin Leаnidаvich Lukashyk ({{langx|be|Канстанцін Леонідовіч Лукашык, Kanstancin Leаnidаvič Łukašyk}}, born September 18, 1975, in Hrodna) is a Belarusian pistol shooter, most known for winning the 50 metre pistol event at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, at the age of 16. During his last shot, he raised his arm 4 times but kept his nerve and eventually pulled the trigger just seconds before the 75 second time limit ran out. He ended up scoring a 9.9 which was enough to beat a field of 5 other Olympic champions, including Ragnar Skanåker who was 42 years older than Lukashyk.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-NRG3IGDmA |title= free pistol Barcelona 1992 part 02|work=www.youtube.com|access-date=18 January 2023}}{{cite web |url=https://www.noc.by/en/news/konstantin-lukashik-the-golden-shot/|title=Konstantin Lukashik: The "Golden Shot" }} As of 2023, he is the youngest Olympic champion in shooting {{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rDjLAgAAQBAJ&dq=youngest+gold+medalists+in+shooting+lukashik&pg=PT333| title=The Book of Olympic Lists | isbn=9781781310816 | last1=Wallechinsky | first1=David | last2=Loucky | first2=Jaime | date=7 June 2012 }}

The year before Barcelona, Lukashyk became both the World Junior Champion and European Junior Champion in the 10 meter air pistol event. He also won the free pistol event in the latter competition since it was available that year. These triumphs combined with a necessary win at the CIS championships in the free pistol right before Barcelona helped him get a spot on the Olympic team despite his age.{{cite web |url=https://www.noc.by/olympic-games/team/chempiony-olimpijskih/lukashik-konstantin-leonidovich-strelba-pulevaya-pistolet/|title=ЛУКАШИК Константин Леонидович }}{{cite web |url=http://www.noc.by/olimpiyskie-chempiony/lukashik.php|title=Константин Лукашик – чемпион Игр XXV Олимпиады в Барселоне 1992 г }}

The year after Barcelona, Lukashyk set a junior world record in 10 metre air pistol (lasting until 2006), and has ever since been a regular member of the Belarusian national team, with varying results including some medals at ISSF World Cups.

He has competed at six Olympics so far, from 1992 to 2012.{{cite Sports-Reference |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/lu/konstantin-lukashik-1.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200418031450/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/lu/konstantin-lukashik-1.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2020-04-18}}{{cite web |url=http://www.london2012.com/athlete/lukashyk-kanstantsin-1037372/ |title=Kanstantsin Lukashyk - Shooting - Olympic Athlete | London 2012 |accessdate=2013-05-30 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130530100840/http://www.london2012.com/athlete/lukashyk-kanstantsin-1037372/ |archivedate=2013-05-30 }}
