Mosinet Geremew (born 12 February 1992) is an Ethiopian middle-distance and long-distance runner.{{cite web|url=http://www.iaaf.org/athletes/ethiopia/mosinet-geremew-254659 |title=Mosinet Geremew |publisher=IAAF |date=23 August 2015| access-date=23 August 2015}}

Mosinet's career started in cross country running. He ran in the junior category at the 2010 IAAF World Cross Country Championships and placed 16th overall – he was not a point-scoring runner for the Ethiopian team. He returned to the same venue (Bydgoszcz) as a senior competitor at the 2013 IAAF World Cross Country Championships, though his 24th-place finish again left him out of the team point scoring. In 2012 he won the 10k Paderborner Osterlauf in Germany in 27:53 min.

He became the first person to win twice at the Yangzhou Jianzhen International Half Marathon, winning four times in a row, including a course record of 59:52 minutes – the fastest achieved in a Chinese race.Wu, Vincent (24 April 2016).
