Yehuda Leon Poliker (Hebrew: יהודה ליאון פוליקר; born Leonidas Polikaris; 25 December 1950) is an Israeli singer, songwriter, and musician.

In 1985, after Benzene broke up, he began a solo career that blended rock, pop, and traditional Greek music.

Yehuda Poliker was born Leonidas Polikaris in Kiryat Haim, a suburb of Haifa, Israel.

Poliker's band, Benzene, released two albums: 24 Sha'ot and Mishmeret Layla, which included singles such as "Hofshi Ze Legamrei Levad", "Geshem", and "Yom Shishi".

The ensuing concert tour was documented on the double live album Hofa'a Khaya Bekaysaria.

In 2011, he released Kol Davar Mazkir Li, which, like Einaim Sheli, consisted of well-known Greek songs translated into Hebrew.

Poliker's father, Jacko, told the story of his escape from Auschwitz in the 1988 film Because of That War (Hebrew: B'Glal Hamilhamah Hahi),[3] which featured music by his son.
