Ze'ev Lev (25 April 1922 – 3 October 2004) (Hebrew: זאב לב; born William Low), was an Israeli physicist, Torah scholar, and founder of the Jerusalem College of Technology.

Having decided to enter the academic world rather than become a rabbi like his grandfather, he obtained a scholarship to Queen's University in Ontario, Canada and graduated with honors.

He then received his master's degree and doctorate at Columbia University in New York City, where he studied with Nobel Prize laureate Isidor Isaac Rabi.

Despite initial resistance from many rabbis and educators, the institution he started with about a dozen students in 1969 grew to have an enrollment of more than 2,000, becoming one of Israel's four accredited engineering schools.

His scientific articles covered subjects including atomic physics and shock waves, and he also wrote about science in relation to the Torah.
