Joseph Molcho ({{langx|he|יוסף מולכו}}; 1692 – 1768{{cite web|url=https://www.daat.ac.il/daat/kitveyet/shana/amar-1.htm|title=כשרות הטווס|language=he|author=Zohar Amar|publisher=daat}} was a rabbi and judge from Thessaloniki, Greece. He is considered one of the most important Greek-Jewish rabbis of his generation, having published several books, including the Shulḥan Gavoah ({{langx|he|שולחן גבוה}}), a restatement of the Arba'ah Turim and the Shulḥan Arukh to reflect the dominant customs in Thessaloniki at the time. He moved to Jerusalem in 1750 and died there.{{Cite web|url=http://danwymanbooks.com/sef7.php|title=Dan Wyman Books, LLC|access-date=2019-12-17|archive-date=2019-12-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191217170157/http://www.danwymanbooks.com/sef7.php|url-status=dead}}
