Abraham Lewysohn (6 December 1805 – 14 February 1860) was a Hebraist and rabbi of Peiskretscham, Upper Silesia. He left a large number of manuscripts, several hundred sermons in Hebrew and Danish, novellæ on the Talmud, verses, a German work on Hebrew grammar, and a work titled Dorot Tannaim wa-Amoraim, a history of the Tannaim and Amoraim, the introduction to which, titled "Parnasat chakme ha-Talmud," was published in Kobak's Jeschurun (i, part 3, p. 81).
