Old Jews Telling Jokes is a 2010 paperback book by Sam Hoffman with Eric Speigelman subtitled 5000 Years of Funny Bits and Not-So-Kosher Laughs. Its chapters consist of jokes and humorous anecdotes contributed by several Jewish personalities, including Ed Koch, Norman Stiles, John Pleshette and Annie Korzen.

In the Introduction Hoffman says his book "categorized the jokes into chapters, roughly tracing the trajectory of the Jewish experience in America".
