Timi Lahtinen (born January 6, 1995) is a Finnish professional ice hockey winger currently playing for Polska Hokej Liga side STS Sanok.

Lahtinen made his Liiga debut for Blues during the 2014–15 season[https://liiga.fi/en/pelaajat/22266806/lahtinen-timi Profile at Liiga.fi] and played 71 games for Blues over two seasons. The team though ceased operations after the 2015–16 Liiga season and Lahtinen was forced to find a new team, eventually joining TPS on May 21, 2016.
