Chaim Tzvi Schneerson (Hebrew: חיים צבי שניאורסון, sometimes anglicized as Haym Zevee Sneersohn, Haym Zvi Sneersohn, or Hayyim Zvi Sneersohn) (1834–1882) was a Jewish-Belarusian Zionist of the Old Yishuv, a doctor, and a Chabad Chasid.

Schneerson spent many of his formative years in Israel, but most of his working years in Australia, Europe, and the United States to raise money for Jewish communities in Israel and to educate foreigners about the plight of Jews abroad.
