Yakov Grigorevich Sinai (bahasa Rusia: Я́ков Григо́рьевич Сина́й; lahir 21 September 1935) adalah seorang matematikawan berkebangsaan RusiaAmerika Serikat yang dikenal atas pemikirannya mengenai sistem dinamika. Ia bersumbangsih terhadap teori metrik modern sistem dinamika dan mengaitkan bidang deterministik (dinamika) dengan sistem probabilistik (stokastik).[1] Ia juga dikenal atas pemikirannya dalam bidang fisika matematis dan teori peluang.[2] Pemikirannya turut memberikan landasan bagi kemajuan ilmu fisika modern.[1]
