Einar Wilhelm Juva (7 January 1892 in Raahe-6 September 1966 in Turku. His surname was until 1935 Juvelius. He was a Finnish historian, professor at Turku University 1920-55.

He mainly outlined Finlands military and geopolitical position in the Swedish empire in the 18th century. He wrote also a survey in 10 parts on Finlands history: "Suomen kansan aikakirjat" (1927-38), were he popularised the results of the historical research. The work should be regarded as a Finnish counterpart to the works of the Swedish historian Carl Grimberg. Juva also wrote a biography of P. E. Svinhufvud and Rudolf Walden.

Together with his son Mikko Juva he wrote "Suomen kansan historia" (5 parts, 1964-67).
