Pinhas Minkowsky (Yiddish: פנחס מינקאווסקי; April 5, 1859 – January 18, 1924) was a Russian hazzan and composer.

His first teacher in vocal music was his father; later he studied it under Nissan Spivak, whom he succeeded as chief cantor of the Choral Synagogue [he] in Kishinev.

[3] Minkovsky thereafter went to Vienna, where he continued his studies under Robert Fuchs, from whom he obtained a diploma as singer.

[4][5] In 1892 he was called back to Odessa, where he served as cantor of the Broder Synagogue for thirty years until its closure by the Bolsheviks in 1922.

[8] Over 1,000 people attended his memorial service on the Lower East Side, which included performances by Yossele Rosenblatt and other well-known cantors.
