Maksym Mykolaiovych Kokosha (Ukrainian: Максим Миколайович Кокоша; born August 9, 1983, in Kyiv) is a Ukrainian former swimmer, who specialized in freestyle events.[1] He is a single-time Olympian (2004), and a two-time Universiade finalist (2003 and 2005). He currently holds a Ukrainian record of 7:21.42 in the 4 × 200 m freestyle relay at the 2005 FINA World Championships in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[2] Kokosha is a member of the swimming team for Dynamo Kyiv, and is trained by longtime coach Volodymyr Vorona.

Kokosha qualified for the men's 4 × 200 m freestyle relay, as a member of the Ukrainian team, at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.[3] Teaming with Serhiy Fesenko, Serhiy Advena, and Dmytro Vereitinov in heat one, Kokosha swam a second leg and recorded a split of 1:52.03, but the Ukrainians settled for sixth place and twelfth overall, in a final time of 7:24.13.[4][5]
