Mordechai (Motti) Mizrachi (Hebrew: מוטי מזרחי, born 1946) is an Israeli multimedia artist whose politically engaged conceptual works since the 1970s involve sculpture, video, photography, public art and performance. Mizrachi's seminal performance work Dough and Via Dolorosa (1973) and Healing (1980), has marked the emergence of Israeli performance and video art avant-garde. Since the 1980s, he has primarily worked as a sculptor, notably creating numerous site specific public sculptures.

Mizrachi's legs are disabled since childhood and this disability is often expressed in his works. He uses humor and self-irony in his works, with an emphasis on the flaws and pleasures of the human body, while examining the oppression and control of the strong over the weak, both socially and politically. He was represented in the 1980 Biennale de Paris, the 1987 and 1981 São Paulo Art Biennials, the 1988 Venice Biennale, and the 2003 Valencia Biennale.
Mizrachi lives in Tel Aviv, Israel.
