Yuri Alexandrovich Popov (Russian: Юрий Александрович Попов) (born 5 March 1936 in Moscow) is a well-known Russian paleoentomologist, the leading world expert in taxonomy and evolution of fossil true bugs (Heteroptera) and Coleorrhyncha. He described more than 20 new families and subfamilies and over 250 new genera and species from the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. Dr. Yuri Popov is one of the founders of higher taxonomy of true bugs: three of seven heteropteran infraorders have been established by him (Nepomorpha Popov, 1968, Gerromorpha Popov, 1971, and Leptopodomorpha Popov, 1971). He has more than 150 publications, including the book on evolution of water bugs known to every specialist in the field.
