Levi (Lewis) Billig (Hebrew: לוי ביליג; 1897 – 22 August 1936) was an Anglo-Jewish orientalist and scholar of Arabic.
At Cambridge, his professors included Edward Granville Browne, Anthony Ashley Bevan, and Reynold A. Nicholson.
He participated in the inaugural meeting in 1927 of Arthur Biram and David Yellin's "committee for Arabic studies in high schools".
Billig and Yellin included classic Arabic compositions, from the Pre-Islamic era through the modern period, that the editors hoped Jewish students would learn.
[1] According to Yonatan Mendel of Ben-Gurion University, Billig's murder "shook the world of Jewish Orientalism in Palestine to its foundations".
[3] Shelomo Dov Goitein dedicated his Hebrew version of Genealogies of the Nobles by 9th century Muslim historian Al-Baladhuri, published in 1938, to Billig.
