Telshe Yeshiva (Yiddish: טעלזער ישיבה; Lithuanian: Telšių ješiva; also spelled Telz)[3] is a yeshiva in Wickliffe, Ohio, formerly located in Telšiai, Lithuania. During World War II the yeshiva began relocating to Wickliffe, Ohio, in the United States and is now known as the Rabbinical College of Telshe, commonly referred to as Telz Yeshiva, or Telz for short.

It is a Haredi (ultra-orthodox) institution of Torah study, with additional branches in Chicago and in New York. It is the successor of the New Haven Yeshiva of Cleveland.
