Mordechai Meirovitz (born 1930 in Romania) is an Israeli telecommunications expert and games maker.
Meirovitz invented the code-breaking board game Master Mind.
After being rejected by leading games companies, he sparked the interest of a Leicester-based company, Invicta Plastics, which restyled and renamed the game.
