Moshe Mann (Hebrew: משה מן; 13 April 1907 – 17 October 2004)[1] was an Israeli military officer who was the first commander of the Golani Brigade.

[3] Mann was involved in building several pre-state Jewish police and paramilitary organizations, including the Notrim, Hish and Palmach.

[3] With the forming of the military structure of the Haganah from 1946 onward, Mann was appointed to head the newly created Levanoni Brigade, controlling the north of the country.

As the 1947–48 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine broke out, the brigade split into two—Golani and Carmeli—and Mann got the command of Golani.

One of Mann's first actions as commander of the north was to organize the Jewish pioneers in the Birya affair.
