The Mir Yeshiva (Hebrew: ישיבת מיר, Yeshivat Mir), commonly known as the Mirrer Yeshiva (Yiddish: מירער ישיבה) or The Mir, was a Lithuanian yeshiva located in the town of Mir, Russian Empire (now Belarus). After relocating a number of times during World War II, it has evolved into three yeshivas: one in Jerusalem and two in Brooklyn, New York: the Mir Yeshiva, and Bais Hatalmud.
