Naḥman Isaac Fischmann (Hebrew: נחמן יצחק הכהן פישמאן; c. 1809–1873), also known by the pen name Ha-nif ha-kohen mi-Lvov (Hebrew: הני״ף הכהן מלבוב), was a Galician Hebrew-language writer, dramatist, poet, and editor.

He was a member of the young Haskalah group in Lemberg,[1] best known for his Biblical dramas Mapelet Sisra (1841) and Kesher Shevna (1870).[2] Along with Jacob Bodek, Abraham Menahem Mendel Mohr [Wikidata], and Jacob Mentsch [Wikidata], he published the controversial magazine Ha-roʼeh u-mevaḳer (Lemberg and Ofen, 1837–39), which attacked the philological and archaeological works of Samuel David Luzzatto, Isaac Samuel Reggio, and especially Solomon Judah Loeb Rapoport.[3][4]

Fischmann's other publications include Eshkol ʻanavim, a collection of original Hebrew poems and translations (Lemberg, 1827), Safah le-ne'emanim, a comprehensive commentary on Job (Lemberg, 1854), and the poem Ha-et ve-ha-meshorer (Lemberg, 1870).[5] He was also a contributor to the literary publications 'Bikkure ha-Ittim and Yerushalayim ha-benuya.[6][7]
