Arieh Dulchin (Hebrew: אריה דולצ'ין‎, born 1913, died 1989) was a Zionist activist who served as a Minister without Portfolio between December 1969 and August 1970, though he was never a member of the Knesset.[1]

Arieh Leon Dulchin was born in Minsk in the Russian Empire. In 1928, he emigrated to Mexico. In 1938-1942 he was president of the Mexican branch of the Zionist Organisation. In 1956 he made aliyah to Israel, where he worked for the Jewish Agency. He joined the Liberal Party, and on 15 December 1969 Golda Meir appointed him to her cabinet as a Minister without Portfolio. However, he resigned on 6 August 1970 when Gahal (the Herut-Liberal bloc) pulled out of the coalition.

Between 1978 and 1987 he served as president of the World Zionist Organization.
