Dennis Diekmeier (born 20 October 1989) is a German professional football manager of SV Sandhausen and former player.

A right-back during his playing days, Diekmeier came through the ranks of Werder Bremen before moving to 1. FC Nürnberg in 2009. His form there led him to being named to one of the best full-backs in the league, after which he joined Hamburger SV in July 2010, where he enjoyed a successful eight-year spell. He left after the club suffered relegation in 2018. In January 2019, he signed with SV Sandhausen, helping them avoid relegation in his first season there. He retired from professional football in 2024 and was appointed assistant coach at SV Sandhausen.

Diekmeier has represented Germany, and was a part of the Germany under-19 team that won the 2008 European U-19 Championship.
