En astronomía de observación, un anillo de Einstein (anillo de Jvolson) es una deformación de la luz de una fuente lumínica (como una galaxia o una estrella) en anillo por la desviación gravitacional de la luz por una lente (como otra galaxia, materia obscura o un agujero negro). Esto ocurre cuando la fuente, la lente y el observador están del todo alineados; de no ser así, el anillo es parcial.
