Jacob Knaani (Kishenev, 1894-Jerusalem, 1978) was a Bessarabia born, later Israeli, lexicographer.[1]

He is not to be confused with another Hebrew lexicographer, Judah Even Shemuel, who also had the German-Yiddish surname Kaufmann, and whose English-Hebrew dictionary was known as the Kaufmann Dictionary.
