Juan Yarur Lolas (January 8, 1894 - August 21, 1954) was a Chilean banker. He was the co-founder of Banco de Crédito e Inversiones in 1937, and he served as its president from 1946 to 1954. The bank is still owned by his descendants.

Yarur was the president of the Arab colony in Santiago, Chile. Together with the German colony, he tried to hire Hjalmar Schacht, Adolf Hitler's Economy Minister, as a "financial adviser" shortly after World War II, but the plan fell through when it became news.
