Israel Moses Sieff, Baron Sieff (4 May 1889 – 14 February 1972) was a British businessman.

He was educated at Manchester Grammar School and Manchester University.

Sieff was chairman of the British retailer, Marks & Spencer from 1964 to 1967. In 1966 he had been created a life peer as Baron Sieff, of Brimpton in the Royal County of Berkshire.

Upon the tragic death of his son Daniel Sieff --- and with the financial support of his business partners and relatives by marriage, the Marks and Sacher families --- Israel Sieff endowed the 1934 creation, by Chaim Weizmann, of the Daniel Sieff Research Institute in Rehovot, present-day Israel. Renamed the Weizmann Institute of Science in 1949 with the Sieff family's consent, it is presently Israel's premier research university in the natural sciences.
