Leah Feldman (1899 — 1993) was a Polish anarchist, Leah joined the Makhnoʼs anarchist army. Active in the once-flourishing Yiddish-speaking anarchist movement in England, Leah also organised a federation of anarchists in Palestine, where she found her old anarchist friend Paula Green (whose husband changed his name to Ben Gurion and became the first prime minister of Israel).

In the 1960s she smuggled arms into Spain for the resistance fighters. The Catalans, prone to giving nicknames, christened her "la yaya Makhnowista" (the Makhnovist Granny).
