"Yenesis" (Greek script: "Γένεσις", English translation: "Genesis") was the Cypriot entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1998, performed in Greek by Michalis Hadjiyiannis.

The song was performed seventeenth on the night (following the United Kingdom's Imaani with "Where Are You" and preceding the Netherlands' Edsilia with Hemel En Aarde). At the close of voting, it had received 37 points, placing 11th in a field of 25.

The song deals with the creation of humanity itself, with Hadjiyiannis singing about the joyous event that this was.

It was succeeded as Cypriot representative at the 1999 Contest by Marlain with "Tha 'Ne Erotas".
