Uri Misgav (Hebrew: אורי משגב; born April 15, 1974) is an Israeli journalist, publicist, lecturer, teacher and director.
In 2007, he moved to "Yediot Ahronoth" as a member of the editorial board, adding to the Sabbath edition and writing opinion articles.

In 2020, together with Shikma Bressler, he was one of the initiators of the Black Flags protest, which he called to join in a post he published on his Facebook page.
"[5] A column he wrote in which he called Supreme Court Judge Noam Solberg an "international criminal" because he lives in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, received sharp condemnation from former Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked.
During the Corona outbreak in 2021, he published an investigation into the "rescue flights" arrangement approved by the government subject to the approval of the Exceptions Committee, in which he claimed that many ultra-Orthodox arrived in Israel on rescue flights, when Israelis stranded abroad who are not ultra-Orthodox did not receive permits for this, thus discriminating against non-Orthodox[11] The piece made waves and further investigations by other journalists exposed it as well.
[15] As a result, complaints were filed against him and the Ethics Tribunal of the Press Council determined that the article was racist, inciting and encouraging civil war.
[17] On October 5, 2023, after he revealed that Minister Nir Barkat traveled to London at the public expense, journalist Ayala Hasson called him a "liar" on Twitter.
