Jüri Järvet (June 18, 1919July 5, 1995) was an Estonian actor. His name sometimes appears as Yuri [Yevgenyevich] Yarvet, an incorrect back-transliteration from the Russian Юри [Евгеньевич] Ярвет

He is best known in the West for the role of Dr. Snaut in Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris, but he played in numerous other films both in Russian and his native Estonian. He was awarded the title of People's Artist of the USSR in 1975, and the USSR State Prize in 1981.
