Shlomo ben Yitzchak HaLevi (1532–1600) was a prominent rabbinic scholar in Thessaloniki, Greece, during the Jewish community's "Golden Age." Among his other duties, he served the exiled Jews from Évora, Portugal.[1]

His grandson, Shlomo ben Yitzchak HaLevi II, most well known for his responsa Maharash Levi (or Maharash L'veit HaLevi), published in Thessaloniki in 1652.[2] These responsa are arranged according to the four-volume structural model of the Arba'ah Turim, and have been cited by such later rabbinic authorities as Rabbi Avraham Gombiner in his Magen Avraham.
