Baruch Mizrahi (Hebrew: ברוך מזרחי; born Ḥamuda Abu Al-Anyan; 1926 – April 18, 1948) was a Palestinian Arab Muslim convert to Judaism, and a member of the Irgun ("The National Military Organization in the Land of Israel") during the Jewish insurgency in Mandatory Palestine. He became fascinated by the Yishuv, and eventually converted to Judaism. During the 1947–1948 civil war in Mandatory Palestine, he and three others were detained by an Arab police officer, brought before a court headed by the Arab Liberation Army, and executed for collaborating with Zionist forces.
