Yehiel Krize (Hebrew: יחיאל קריזה) was an Israeli painter, born in 1908 in Kalisz, Poland.

In 1923 he immigrated to Land of Israel with his mother, two brothers and two sisters and settled in the Makor Chaim neighborhood of Jerusalem.

In 1924, the family reunited with father Yitzhak, a member of the Mizrachi movement, who established a workshop for weaving keffiyehs.

Together with Pinchas Abramovich, whom he met in Binyamina, he approached the art world and began painting in Yosef Zaritzky's studio in Tel Aviv.

For about ten years, Kriza painted the sights of Haifa, Tiberias, Safed and Jaffa and the everyday reality in them.
