Ryan Jarvis, (born July 11, 1986 in Fakenham, England), is an English professional footballer who currently plays for Norwich City.

A striker, Jarvis became Norwich City's youngest ever first team player with a substitute appearance in a 0-0 draw at Walsall on April 19, 2003 in the English First Division, aged just 16 years and 282 days. He also became the club's youngest goalscorer the following season with a late strike in a 2-1 home defeat by Watford on November 15, 2003.

Jarvis scored his first Premiership goal against Liverpool during a 2-1 defeat on January 3, 2005 with a spectacular 20-yard effort.

Currently an Under-20 international, Jarvis has represented England at all junior levels. His 2005/06 season was wrecked by injuries, however in April 2006 he signed a new contract with Norwich City that will see him stay at the club until June 2008. His younger brother, Rossi Jarvis, is also on the books of Norwich City, having signed his first professional contract for the club during the 2005/06 campaign. The two brothers played together in the same Norwich team for the first time on 19 September 2006 in an English League Cup match against Rotherham United, in which Ryan scored twice.

Jarvis spent a part of the 2004-05 season on loan at Colchester United from March-May 2005. He played 2 games for them without scoring.
