Uri Ra'anan, previously Heinz Felix Frischwasser-Ra’anan, is an American professor, specializing on the politics of communist countries, particularly the Soviet Union and China. He taught at Boston University where he was involved in the University Professors Program, and also at the International Security Studies Program (Fletcher School).
