A jurist is a person with expert knowledge of law; someone who analyses and comments on law. This person is usually a specialist legal scholar, mostly (but not always) with a formal qualification in law and often a legal practitioner.

With reference to Roman law, a "jurist" (in English) is a jurisconsult (''iurisconsultus'').
