Moshe Ben-Ze'ev (Template:Lang-he, 8 December 1911 – 25 June 1995) was an Israeli jurist who served as Attorney General between 1963 and 1968.

Ben-Ze'ev was born in 1911 in Luninets in the Russian Empire (now in Belarus). He emigrated to Mandatory Palestine in 1935.

In the 1950s he worked as a judge in a Haifa District court and had close ties with the ruling Mapai party.[1] In early 1963 he replaced Gideon Hausner as Attorney General after Hausner resigned to enter politics.
