Väinö Villiam Siikaniemi (27 March 1887 – 24 August 1932) was a Finnish athlete who competed at the 1912 Summer Olympics.[2] He finished fifth in the conventional javelin throw and won the silver medal in the two-handed javelin throw, a one-time Olympic event in which the total was counted as a sum of best throws with the right hand and with the left hand.[3]

Siikaniemi retired from sports after the 1912 Games and became a math teacher, poet and translator. In 1923, he published his first poem and in 1929, a collection of poetry. In 1916, he married singer Oili Silventoinen (1888–1932) and later wrote lyrics for songs.[4] He died of pneumonia, aged 45. It was said that he caught a cold during a marathon swim, which he took in an attempt to fight depression caused by the sudden death of his wife two weeks earlier.
