Yair Sprinzak (8 November 1911– 6 September 1999 was an Israeli scientist and politician, who served in the Twelfth Knesset for the Moledet party. His father, Joseph Sprinzak was formerly Chairman of the first three Knessets.

As the eldest member of Knesset, Sprinzak also served temporarily as Chairman of the Knesset until a permanent replacement could be elected. Because of his hawkish views, a number of Knesset members refused to appear during his tenure.

Having been elected at the age of seventy-six, Sprinzak was at the time the oldest person ever elected to the Knesset for a first term.
