Roizl bas Yosef Fishels of Krakow (fl. 16th century) was a Polish Jewish printer and teacher.[1][2]

Her paternal grandfather Rabbi Yehuda ha-Levi ran a yeshiva for fifty years in Ludomir.[3] In 1586, she printed a translation of Tehillim into Yiddish by Moshe Stendel,[4] prefaced by an autobiographical poem of her own.[5]
