Marcus Kalisch (or Moritz) (May 16, 1828 – August 25, 1885) was a Jewish scholar born in Treptow, Pomerania, and died in Derbyshire, England.
In 1848 he obtained degrees at Berlin and at Halle, and in the same year took part in the European struggle for freedom that resulted in the émeute of 1848.
At one time he was secretary to the Chief Rabbi; in 1853 he became tutor in the Rothschild family and enjoyed leisure to produce his commentaries and other works.
Kalisch wrote before the publication of Julius Wellhausen's works, and anticipated him in some important points.
He was prevented from completing his projected comprehensive commentary on the entire Pentateuch by the ill health which attended his last years.
