Rajzel Zychlinsky (July 27, 1910 – June 13, 2001) was a Polish-born writer of poetry in Yiddish.
She published seven collections over six decades.
Her first two collections were published in Warsaw in 1936 and 1939, just prior to World War II.
She survived the war by fleeing eastward to the Soviet Union, but most of her family was murdered in the Holocaust.
Her postwar poetry, mostly written in the United States, was strongly influenced by these events.
Barnett Zumoff writes that "she was the most authentic and original of the female Yiddish poets." Karina von Tippelskirch writes "Rajzel Zychlinsky (1910–2001) is considered one of the greatest Yiddish poets of the 20th century and a master of the small poetic form."
