Osvald Teodor Ejveri (engl. Oswald Theodore Avery; 21. oktobar 1877 — 2. februar 1955) je bio američki lekar i medicinski istraživač rođen u Kanadi. Najveći deo karijere je proveo u bolnici Rokfelerovog univerziteta u Njujorku. Ejveri je bio jedan od prvih molekularnih biologa i pionir u oblasti imunohemije, ali je najbolje poznat po otkriću iz 1944, gde je sa saradnicima Kolinom Maklaudom i Maklinom Makartijem, pokazao da su geni i hromozomi napravljeni od DNK.

Nobelovac Arne Tizelijus je rekao da je Ejveri bio najzaslužniji naučnik kome nije dodeljena Nobelova nagrada,^[1] mada je bio nominovan tokom 1930-tih, '40-tih i '50-tih.^[2]

Mesečev krater Ejveri je imenovan u njegovu čast.
