Janne Immonen (born May 29, 1968 ) is a former Finnish cross-country skier .

He was active from 1993 to 2003. He achieved podium places in the cross-country skiing world cup twice with the 4 x 10 km relay in 1999 and 2000 with second place and once in the individual race in 2001 in Otepää over 10 km in classic style with third place. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in 2001 in Lahti, he won the gold medal with the Finnish relay. Because his doping test was positive for the HES blood plasma expander , the title was revoked and he was banned for two years. In 2013, in perjury trial, he also confessed to using EPO between 1999 and 2001. He was given a six-month suspended sentence for his earlier false testimony.
