Jurij Aleksandrovič Šaporin (8. listopadu 1887 - 9. prosince 1966) byl ruský sovětský skladatel. Napsal poměrně malý počet děl (opera Děkabristé, kantáta Na poli Kulikova, oratorium Pověst o bitvě o rodnou zem, Symfonie pro sbor a orchestr, klavírní sonáty, skladby pro violoncello, písně) - dohromady asi 30 děl.

Yuri Alexandrovich Shaporin (Russian: Юрий (Георгий) Александрович Шапорин; November 8 1887 -- 9 December 1966) was a Russian Soviet composer.He was a founding member of the Association for Contemporary Music in 1923.
During the 1930s he turned his attention to large scale works. His opera Dekabristi (The Decembrists), with the libretto written by Aleksey Nikolayevich Tolstoy about the Decembrist revolt, had been on Shaporin's mind already by 1920 —a 1925 interim version, Polina Gyobe, had two scenes staged in Leningrad. He completed a version in 1938, but dissatisfied with it, he decided to revise it. It was only completed in 1953, after collaboration with librettist Vsevolod Rozhdestvensky. The opera was premiered at the Bolshoi Theatre on June 23, 1953. Among his students at the Moscow Conservatory were Edward Artemiev and Rodion Konstantinovich Shchedrin.
