Israel Aksenfeld (c. 1787 in Nemirov, Ukraine, Russian Empire – c. 1868 in Paris, France) was a Judæo-German writer. Although he spoke other languages perfectly (Hebrew, Russian, Polish, German, possibly Ukrainian), he chose to write in Yiddish. Together with Solomon Ettinger, he was one of the first Yiddish-language writers of the 19th century and one of the most significant Yiddish writers to emerge before Mendele Mocher Sforim.
