Yuri Lemeshev is a Russian accordion player, most notable for being in the studio band on Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

He has also shared the stage and/or recorded with Nicole Renaud, Tony Scherr, Brad Shepik, Greg Wall, Mary Wooten and Matt Darriau. He is also the resident accordionist for the New York-based Gypsy-Punk-Cabaret band Gogol Bordello and recently started a duo with theremin player Pamelia Kurstin.
