Yosef Yitzhak Paritzky (Hebrew: יוסף יצחק פריצקי; 14 September 1955 – 5 October 2021) was an Israeli attorney, politician and columnist.

He was re-elected in 2003 and was appointed Minister of National Infrastructure and Energy in Ariel Sharon's government.

Paritzky established the natural gas system in Israel and also led dramatic changes in the electricity and water fields.

Tapes of Paritzky were published in which he was heard apparently attempting to catch Avraham Poraz, the party's deputy leader, in wrongdoings.

[1] Paritzky then announced that he was forming his own party, Tzalash, and would run in the 2006 elections, saying his goal was for Shinui "not to attain the minimum number of votes needed to get into the Knesset".
