Nethaneel Joseph Mitchell-Blake (born 2 April 1994) is a British sprinter who specialises in the 200 metres and the 4 × 100 metre relay. He was the 2013 European Junior Champion and his personal best of 19.95 seconds ranks him as the third-fastest in Britain of all-time in the individual event. He is one of only three Britons, after Zharnel Hughes and Adam Gemili to break both 10 seconds for 100 metres and 20 seconds for 200 metres.

Part of the Great Britain 4 × 100-metre relay team that won the World title in 2017, he won his first major individual honour, a silver medal, in the individual 200 metres at the 2018 European Athletics Championships before claiming another relay title running for Great Britain, the eventual gold medalists, in the heats of the 4 × 100 metres.

On 18 February 2022 it was announced that Nethaneel and his teammates CJ Ujah, Zharnel Hughes and Richard Kilty would be stripped of their 4 × 100 metres relay 2020 Summer Olympics silver medals after the Court of Arbitration for Sport found CJ Ujah guilty of a doping violation.

Four years later, Mitchell-Blake regained an Olympic medal when Great Britain won the bronze medal in the same event at the 2024 Summer Olympics, along with Hughes and Kilty, in addition to debutants Jeremiah Azu and Louie Hinchliffe.
