Venne "Verner" Järvinen (3 April 1870 – 31 January 1941) was a Finnish track and field athlete, who competed mostly in throwing events.

[1] At his first Olympics in Athens 1906 (now no longer officially recognized by the IOC), Järvinen was a solid medal candidate in multiple events.

[8] In the discus he finished third, with defending champion Martin Sheridan taking the top spot.

[5][1] Kalle Järvinen broke the European record in shot put with a 1927 mark of 15.17 m,[20] and competed in that event at the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

[21][5] Aki Järvinen was a two-time Olympic silver medalist and a world record holder in the decathlon,[5][22] while Matti was even more successful in the javelin, winning the Olympic gold in 1932 and breaking the world record no less than ten times.
