Israel Sack (September 15, 1883 – May 4, 1959) was a Lithuanian American antiques dealer specializing in early American furniture. Sack was instrumental in developing the private collections of Henry Ford, Henry Francis du Pont, Ima Hogg, and other leading collectors and supplying the Americana collections of "virtually every major museum in the country" per The New York Times. According to The Washington Post, Sack's firm was "reputed to have invented the American antique market."
