Osviel Hernández (born 31 May 1989) is a Cuban track and field athlete who competes in the triple jump.
Born and raised in Matanzas Province, he began competing in athletics at the age of eleven.
[3] Hernández cleared seventeen metres at the Estadio Panamericano, Havana in 2009 – his jump of 17.08 m (56 ft 1⁄4 in) placed him within the world's top thirty that year.
[1][2] At the start of the 2012 season, he reached the top of the world rankings with a jump of 17.49 m (57 ft 4+1⁄2 in) in February.
[6] This performance did not translate to success on the track circuit, as he was beaten by compatriot Alexis Copello at both the Grande Premio Brasil Caixa de Atletismo and the IAAF Centennial meet in Havana.
