Yitzhak Kariv (Hebrew: יצחק קריב; 1902 in Russia – 1999) was the mayor of West Jerusalem from 1952 to 1955,[1][2] and a banker.
As a member of the Mizrachi political party, he was appointed as a compromise between the parties of the city hall, after Jerusalem's first elected mayor, Zalman Shragai, had resigned. In April 1955, a few months before the following elections, he was fired by the Minister of Interior, who replaced him with an appointed committee (ועדה קרואה).
