Jari Tervo (born 2 February 1959)[1] is a Finnish author, columnist, and former TV personality.

His works often include autobiographical elements; for example, Kallellaan is a diary, and Minun sukuni tarina has a protagonist who is the author himself, all but in name.

Tervo has also written books of poetry, as well as newspaper columns for Yle Uutiset, Helsingin Sanomat, and Iltalehti, among other publications.

[3] Tervo was published by WSOY until 2016, but followed his editor, Harri Haanpää [fi], to Otava.
