Yehezkel Nisanov (Hebrew: יחזקאל ניסנוב; 1886-1911[7]) was a Mountain Jewish Zionist and early immigrant in Eretz Israel.

He became involved in the Russian Social Democratic Party and was one of the early founders of the Bar Giora group[8][9] and later Hashomer[10][11][12] Nisanov was born in 1886 in Tamir-Khan-Shura to a family of Mountain Jews.

[13] Growing up in poverty, he began working at a young age and later moved to Baku to study sewing, where he became involved in the Russian Social Democratic Party and eventually the Poalei Zion movement.

He played a significant role as one of the early founders of the Bar Giora militia[15] and later Hashomer.

[21][22][23][24][25] Israel Giladi, one of the leaders of Hashomer, wrote of his death:Of course, he preferred to be killed rather than to give up his mules to the Arabs.
