Sir Israel Gollancz (1864 - 1930) was a scholar of early English literature and of Shakespeare. He was the younger brother of Sir Hermann Gollancz and the uncle of the publisher Victor Gollancz.

He was a founder member and the first Secretary of the British Academy and of the committee for a Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, which eventually became the Royal National Theatre in London. He edited the "Temple" Shakespeare, a uniform edition of the complete works in pocket size volumes which was the most popular Shakespeare edition of its day.
