Timerlan Huseinov, (Russian: Тимерлан Гусейнов born 24 January 1968, in Buynaksk, USSR, now Dagestan, Russia), is a former footballer now coach. Huseinov was Ukrainian Premier League's top goalscorer in 1993-94 and 1995-96 seasons (both with Chornomorets Odessa) scoring 18 and 20 goals respectively.

Huseinov holds many firsts in Ukrainian soccer history, including being the first player to score 100 goals in official matches in Ukraine. He is also one of the all-time leading scorers in the Ukrainian Premier League with 85 goals in 215 matches. Though long retired from the national side and with only 14 caps to show for four years of service (between 1993 and 1997), Huseinov is the #4 all-time scorer (as of 23 June 2006) in the Ukraine national team's history with 8 goals.

After retiring from playing Huseinov began coaching at the last club he played for, Signal, an amateur club in Odessa. He coached them from 2004 to 2007, wining the Odessa Oblast Cup in the process. In February of 2007 he was hired as an assistant coach with FC Dniester Ovidiopol.
