Jyhan Artut (born 9 October 1976) is a German darts player who competes in Professional Darts Corporation events.
Artut defeated Wayne Mardle 3-0 in the 2010 PDC World Darts Championship in the first round. He was beaten 4–1 by Robert Thornton in the second round. He won the German Championship in 2009 and 2010. With the latter win he qualified for the PDC World Darts Championship for his second consecutive year.
In the 2011 PDC World Darts Championship, Artut played against Scott MacKenzie of Hong Kong in the preliminary round and defeated him 4–3 before going on to lose to Denis Ovens 3–1 in the first round.
He qualified for the 2012 PDC World Darts Championship through the European Order of Merit and was drawn to play Gary Anderson in the first round. Artut was involved in one of the most exciting first round matches ever seen at the World Championships. He won the opening two sets, but was quickly pulled back to 2–2 to require a deciding set. Artut missed four darts to win the match in the 10th leg of the set and Anderson eventually won with a sudden death leg. Artut represented Germany with Bernd Roith in the 2012 PDC World Cup of Darts and together they were beaten 1–3 by the United States in the second round. In October, Artut beat Jann Hoffmann to qualify for the fifth European Tour Event of the year, the Dutch Darts Masters, where he lost to world number five Wes Newton 4–6 in the first round. In an attempt to reach the 2013 World Championship, Artut was defeated in the quarter-finals of the Central European Qualifier 5–6 by Mensur Suljović.
