Jared Schutz Polis (born Jared Polis Schutz May 12, 1975) is an American entrepreneur, philanthropist, and Democratic politician from the state of Colorado. A former chairman of the Colorado State Board of Education, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in November 2008, representing Colorado's 2nd congressional district, based in Boulder. He was sworn in January 2009, succeeding Mark Udall.

Polis received a Bachelor of Arts in political science from Princeton University after attending the La Jolla Country Day School in San Diego, California, and now lives in Boulder. He is the son of Stephen Schutz and Susan Polis Schutz.

He is the first openly gay man elected to the House as a freshman. (The other openly gay male Representative currently serving in the House, Barney Frank, did not make his orientation public until after he was first elected.)
