Pesakh "Paul" Novick (Yiddish: פסח נאוויק; September 7, 1891 – August 21, 1989) was a Jewish American journalist, editor, translator and political commentator. Novick is best remembered as the long time editor-in-chief of the Communist Party Yiddish-language daily Morgen Freiheit (Morning Freedom) and of the Communist-affiliated English-language magazine Jewish Life. Novick was expelled from the Communist Party in 1972 for challenging Soviet foreign policy (specifically as it pertained to Czechoslovakia and Israel), and for allegedly supporting Zionism.
