Genet Getaneh Wendimagegnehu (born 6 January 1986) is an Ethiopian professional long-distance runner who competes in half marathon and marathon competitions.
She was selected to represent Ethiopia at the 2004 Yokohama Women's Ekiden and, leading off on the first 5 km leg, she helped her country to win the race.
An individual win at the Great Ethiopian Run 10K in November established her among the top national level runners, as she ran a course record of 34:18 minutes and beat world-level medalist Teyba Erkesso and African champion Eyerusalem Kuma.
She narrowly finished behind both of them to take third at the Silvesterlauf Trier at the end of the year.
Genet ran a 10 km for Ethiopia at the 2005 Yokohama Ekiden, but Ethiopia came third on that occasion.
She had three wins over the 10K distance that year, taking the titles at the Stadsloop Appingedam and Run London races, then defending her title at the Ethiopian Run.
In 2006, she made her first track appearance abroad at the FBK Games, finishing well down the field over 5000 metres, and had similar results at the Ethiopian Championships.
She attempted another defence at the Ethiopian Run, but came third, and was runner-up at the end-of-year São Silvestre da Amadora.
She represented Ethiopia at the IAAF World Half Marathon Championships in 2007 and 2008, finishing fourth at the latter race.
Genet was based in the Netherlands at the start of 2007: she was third at the Parelloop in April and set a 10,000 metres best of 32:09:50 minutes in Valkenswaard.
She moved up to longer distances and a third place at the Ethiopian 20 km Championship brought her selection for the 2007 IAAF World Road Running Championships.
She was fifth at the 2008 Ethiopian cross country championships, but did not gain selection for the world championships.
However, she made her breakthrough in the half marathon that year.
She was third at the Paris Half Marathon and her fourth place at the 2008 IAAF World Half Marathon Championships helped Ethiopia to the team title.

She had her best national finish over 10,000 m at the Ethiopian Championships, coming a close second to Amane Gobena, and ran a 15 km best of 47:54 minutes to beat Florence Kiplagat to the title at the Zevenheuvelenloop.
