Yehoshua Mondshine (Hebrew: יהושע מונדשיין; 1947–2014) was an Israeli rabbi, scholar, researcher and historian associated with the Chabad-Lubavitch, Hasidic movement. Mondshine worked as a librarian and bibliographer at the National Library of Israel in Jerusalem.
Rabbi Mondshine authored over twenty works on Chabad Hasidic social and intellectual history, and published a number of articles in various journals, both academic and rabbinic, some of them under the pseudonym Yehoshua D. Levanon.
Mondshine's work on Chabad and general Hasidic historiography continued a tradition in Chabad from the nineteenth century where the Chabad movement published material in the spirit of critical academic historiography.
