Veikko Aarne Aleks Huhtanen (June 5, 1919 — January 29, 1976) was a Finnish gymnast and a three-time Olympic champion.
Huhtanen was the most successful gymnast at the 1948 Summer Olympics by taking home five medals, of which three were golden. In the pommel horse event Huhtanen and two other Finns, Heikki Savolainen and Paavo Aaltonen, had the same score and the gold medal was shared between the three.
