Yurij Yakovlevitch Glazov (1929–2000), sometimes cited as J. J. Glazov, was a Russian Indologist known for his studies in Tamil and Malayalam languages and classical literature. He received his doctorate degree in 1962 for his studies on the classical Tamil language with a focus on "Tirukkural". He worked at Moscow State University, and published many articles on Tamil and Malayalam literature. He collaborated with other Indologists such as M. Andronov, S.

In a review of linguistic studies on Tamil literature, the Czech scholar of Tamil literature Kamil Zvelebil wrote, Glazov published a "number of very important papers where he treated systematically and in detail the morphophonology and morphology of classical literary Tamil; all his papers are characterized by meticulous attention to details and sound methodological approach".
