Ebihara Yuri (蛯原友里) is a Japanese model and actress. She is a graduate of Kyushu Sangyo University where she studied fine arts.

After graduating she worked with a classmate designing for aged care institutions. She won an audition for a TV advertisement for Zespri golden kiwi fruit. Her first big break came as the exclusive CanCam model, the only model appearing in that magazine at the time. She then went on to appear in several TV dramas, most recently Busu no Hitomi ni Koi shiteru (KTV, 2006)

Ebihara is universally known by her nickname Ebi-chan, which is based on the first character of her family name. Newspapers and television often drop the appellation Chan, which is quite unusual. Ebi means "shrimp" and has been used by McDonald's Japan to promote their fried shrimp burger. Her posters are well known for being stolen from McDonald stores.
