Zvi Lurie (Hebrew: צבי לוריא‎, 1906 – 1968) was a Jewish political figure in Mandate Palestine. A member of the Vaad Leumi, he was amongst the signatories of the Israeli declaration of independence.

Lurie lived in kibbutz Ein Shemer, and was a member of its affiliation organisation, Hashomer Hatzair, serving as its general secretary between 1935 and 1937.^[1] He was a member of the Vaad Leumi on behalf of Hashomer Hatzair, and was co-opted into the Provisional State Council following Israel's declaration of independence in May 1948. He also helped establish Kol Yisrael, which broadcast the declaration.

After signing the declaration, Lurie left Israel to work on strengthening ties between Israel and the Jewish people ^[2] with the Jewish Agency as a representative of Mapam (of which Hashomer Hatzair was a part). He died in 1968.
