Itamar Singer (Hebrew: איתמר זינגר; November 26, 1946 – September 19, 2012) was an Israeli author and historian of Jewish-Romanian origin.

[1] Itamar Singer was born on November 26, 1946, in Dej, in the multiethnic Transylvanian region of Romania.

[2] He studied for his bachelor's degree in archaeology and geography at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem graduating in 1968 and then went on to pursue his masters at Tel Aviv while fulfilling his national service obligation concurrently in the Israeli airforce.

[2] The focus of his academic interest was in what he termed the Pax Hethitica, a period of the 13th century BC – a golden age of international diplomatic relations between the great powers and with their Levantine vassals.

He was the first researcher to theorize that it was the internal rivalries and the schism which rendered the Hittite empire vulnerable to the Bronze Age collapse and the coup de grace delivered by the Sea Peoples and others.
