Isidor Ascheim (Hebrew: איזידור אשהיים; 1891–1968) was a German-born Israeli painter and printmaker. He is known for his work within the German Expressionist movement and his later contributions to Israeli art. Born in Margonin (present-day Poland), he studied in Breslau and was influenced by artists of the Die Brücke group.
In 1940, he immigrated to Mandate Palestine, where he became an important figure in the Jerusalem art scene, notably teaching and later directing the Bezalel School of Arts and Crafts. His artistic output reflects a connection to nature and the human form, often executed with a dark palette characteristic of his German Expressionist roots
