Uri Lupolianski (Hebrew: אורי לופוליאנסקי; 29 August 1951 – 7 January 2026) was an Israeli politician. He was the mayor of Jerusalem from 2003 to 2008. He was the founder of Yad Sarah.
In January 2011, he was indicted with 17 others for allegedly giving or receiving bribes, even though Lupolianski never received any money himself. Instead, the money was sent to a Jerusalem charity that helped poor people in the city.[1] In March 2014, he was found guilty of corruption.[2]
Lupolianski died on 7 January 2026 in Jerusalem at the age of 74.[3]
