Aviva Uri (1922–1989) was an Israeli painter known for her expressive drawings that focused on line and composition. Her work influenced notable Israeli artists, including Raffie Lavie.

Uri's oeuvre presented an alternative to the abstract art primarily dominated by men in Israel at the time. She concentrated on paper-based drawings and used minimal colors, if at all. Her work was influenced by Far Eastern art and culture, particularly Japanese and Chinese drawings, as well as surrealism and abstract forms, rather than figurative art. Her work often conveyed themes of anxiety and distress. In the 1980s, following the Lebanon War and the death of her painting mentor David Hendler, Uri's work began to incorporate themes of mourning and loss.

She received the Dizengoff Prize in 1952 and exhibited at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art in 1957. In 1976, she was awarded the Sandberg Prize for Israeli Art by the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. During the 1960s, she participated in exhibitions with the “Ten +” artist collective, where she also integrated social and anti-war themes into her work.

Uri continued to innovate and influence other artists until her passing in 1989, and remains a significant figure in Israeli art history.
