Oyuntsetsegiin Yesügen (; born 21 March 2001) is a Mongolian boxer. She qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics and was named the Mongolian flagbearer.

Biography Yesügen was born in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. She grew up in Javkhlant, Selenge, and was introduced to boxing by O. Boldbaatar in middle school. She joined the "Red Panther" (Улаан ирвис) boxing club in Selenge and began training consistently starting in 2016; her parents initially objected, declaring that boxing was "not a sport suitable for girls", but eventually supported her due to her dedication, as she trained two hours per day even when not preparing for fights.

Yesügen, a flyweight, rose through the Mongolian boxing ranks and became a two-time state champion, later making the national team.

Yesügen made her professional debut in July 2022, defeating Michidmaa Erdendedalai by split decision. The following month, she won her first professional title, defeating Akane Fujiwara of Japan for the WBO Asia Pacific Super Bantamweight title. In March 2023, she competed at the 2023 IBA Women's World Boxing Championships in the flyweight division. Later that year, she competed at the Asian Games in the light flyweight division, defeating World Champion Nazym Kyzaibay to win a bronze medal. By May 2024, Yesügen was ranked the number one female Mongolian boxer and had compiled a career record of 25 wins and 6 losses.
