Irina Anatolyevna Yarovaya (Russian: Ири́на Анато́льевна Ярова́я; born 17 October 1966) née Chernyakhovskaya is a Russian political figure, a Deputy Chairman of the State Duma from United Russia Party and a member of her party's General Council.

She has authored or co-authored multiple laws, including the toughening of responsibility for violating the rules of holding rallies, tightening immigration, criminal libel and registration requirements for 'foreign agents' for non-profit organizations with foreign funding. In 2014, she sponsored a bill prohibiting rehabilitation of Nazism.^[1] Another law known as the Yarovaya Law required in particular that telecommunications providers record all of their traffic and keep the record for three years (later shortened to six months). The first version of this counter-terrorism bill would have made it a criminal offense to fail reporting suspicious activities potentially linked with terrorism. This bill's language was subsequently watered down by the Duma.^[2][3]

Yarovaya is generally considered a reactionary, in that she sponsored laws limiting civil freedom in the name of state security.^[4] She was accused of producing low-quality bills possibly contradicting the Constitution of Russia.^[3][5][6]
