Yuri Farzunovich Gazzaev (Russian: Юрий Фарзунович Газзаев, Ossetian: Гæззаты Фарзуны фырт Юри; born 27 November 1960) is a Russian professional football coach and a former player.

As a player, he made his debut in the Soviet First League in 1978 for Spartak Ordzhonikidze.^[1]

He signed for French club Niort on a fake paperwork, pretending he was 9 years younger than he actually was (his birth year was changed from 1960 to 1969). He was released a few months later after the fraud was discovered.^[2]

His son Ruslan Gazzayev was a professional footballer.^[1]
