Chaim Yehuda ("Yudel") Krinsky (born December 3, 1933, in Boston, Massachusetts) is a rabbi and a leader in the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. He served in various positions of the movement's administrative staff since 1954, and as a personal secretary to its chief rabbi, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, and is chairman of the movement's main institutions.
In 1988, after Schneerson's wife died, he named Krinsky sole executor of his will, later probated and recorded in New York.
As of 2004, Krinsky was among the most influential figures within the Chabad movement.
