Aharon "Aharale" Rabinovich Yariv ( _he. אהרן רבינוביץ' יריב, 20 December 19207 May 1994) was an Israeli politician and soldier.

Born in Moscow, USSR, Yariv began his military service in the Haganah and later the British Army. He then joined the IDF, first as a field officer, and later as the Israeli military attaché to Washington. From 1964 to 1972, Yariv was the head of Aman, the IDF's military intelligence. After the Munich Massacre in 1972, he served as Prime Minister Golda Meir's Advisor on Counterterrorism, where he directed Operation Wrath of God. After leaving the army, he joined the Alignment. He was elected to the Knesset in the 1973 elections, and was appointed Transportation Minister, and then Information Minister. He resigned from the latter post in 1975, and then from the Knesset shortly before the 1977 elections. Yitzhak Rabin, Prime Minister at the time of his death, gave the eulogy at his funeral in 1994.

Yariv was played by actor Amos Lavi in Steven Spielberg's 2005 film "Munich".
