Avraham Chaim Naeh (1890–1954) was a Lubavitcher chassid and major posek (halachic authority) active during the first half of twentieth century. He is most famous for his works Ketzos ha-Shulchan, Piskei HaSiddur, Shi'urei Mikveh, and Shi'urei Torah, (Measurements of the Torah), in which he converted biblical measurements into contemporary measurements. The work is of significance as much of Jewish law involves specific requirements of certain sizes and quantities.
