Selig Soskin (Hebrew: זליג סוסקין; 1873 – 26 February 1959) was an Israeli agronomist and an early member of the Zionist movement.

[citation needed] He was one of the founders of the settlement of Be'er Tuvia (until then known as Qastina, after the neighboring Palestinian village of the same name), and worked on the planting of eucalyptus to drain the swamps of Hadera[citation needed] In 1898, Soskin accompanied Theodor Herzl during his visit to Palestine, and subsequently assisted in research to examine the possibilities for agriculture in different regions in the country.

In 1903, he participated in the Sixth Zionist Congress, where he was elected to the Committee for the Study of Eretz Israel, along with Otto Warburg and Franz Oppenheimer.

In connection with the works of the committee, he was part of a delegation to El Arish, in the northern Sinai, to investigate the area at the request of Herzl.

[citation needed] In 1918, he was appointed Director of Settlement on the Jewish National Fund (the "JNF") and, following a tour of Europe, began to examine the implementation of an agricultural model.
