Yehoshua Dovid Povarsky (Hebrew: יהושע דוד פוברסקי; 1902–1999) was Rosh Yeshiva of Ponevezh Yeshiva.

Povarsky studied in the Kelm Talmud Torah under Yeruchom Levovitz[1] whom he followed when Levovitz went to work at Mir Yeshiva,[2] where Povarsky was Yechiel Michel Feinstein's roommate.

[3] He married Tzipporah Kreiser,[4] after which he studied under Elchonon Wasserman in Kovno.

Several of his sons became rabbis, including Baruch Dov Povarsky, his successor as rosh yeshiva.
