Urho Sakari Lehtovaara (27 October 1917 – 15 January 1949) was one of the top scoring Finnish Air Force aces.

He remained in service as a non-commissioned officer (NCO) with LeLv 26, flying Bristol Bulldog biplanes.

On 2 March 1940, Lehtovaara intercepted and shot down an SB-2 bomber, his first victory and his only claim during the Winter War.

Sergeant Major Lehtovaara was transferred to the newly formed LeLv 34 in April 1943, flying the Messerschmitt Bf 109G-2.
