Homiyu Tesfaye Heyi (born 23 June 1993) is an Ethiopian-German middle- and long-distance runner.
After claiming political asylum he began competing for Germany and came fifth in the 1500 metres at the 2013 World Championships in Athletics.
He won his first German indoor title in 2012 and claimed his first outdoor title (over 10,000 metres) the following year. A winner of numerous German under-20 and under-23 titles, he was accused of being Henok Tesfaye Heyi (an Ethiopian runner who is three years older) and thus of falsifying his age in competition.
