Mesivta Tiferes Yisroel (MTY) is an Orthodox yeshiva in Brooklyn, New York. It was founded in the Fall of 1988 by Rabbi David Harris.

Beginning as a fledgling branch of the Rabbinical Seminary of America known as the Yeshiva Chofetz Chaim, (located in Queens, New York), it has evolved under the leadership of Rabbi Tzvi Turk (b. 1951?) into an established yeshiva.

It is primarily an American, Lithuanian-style Haredi but non-Hasidic yeshiva focusing on Talmud study.

Although, like the majority of Chofetz Chaim branches, it is run independently, it continues to retain strong ties with its parent institution (the Yeshiva Chofetz Chaim). It currently has over two hundred students on the high school level and about twenty at the post-high school Beth midrash level. Many of the latter will continue on a rigidly determined curriculum, eventually seeking rabbinical ordination through Chofetz Chaim or through other rabbinical schools.
