The Times of Israel (ToI) is an Israeli multi-language online newspaper that was launched in 2012 and has since become the largest English-language Jewish and Israeli news source by audience size. It was co-founded by Israeli journalist David Horovitz, who is also the founding editor, and American billionaire investor Seth Klarman. Based in Jerusalem, it "documents developments in Israel, the Middle East and around the Jewish world." Along with its original English site, The Times of Israel publishes in Hebrew (via its own edition, Zman Yisrael), Arabic, French, and Persian. In addition to publishing news reports and analysis, the website hosts a multi-author blog platform.

In February 2014, two years after its launch, The Times of Israel claimed a readership of two million. In 2017, readership increased to 3.5 million unique monthly users. By 2021, the paper had on average over nine million unique users each month and over 35 million monthly pageviews, according to its press kit, while the paper's blog platform had 9,000 active bloggers. In 2025, the press kit listed an audience of 8 million unique monthly users, comprising 25 million monthly visits and 75 million monthly pageviews. Website ranking company Similarweb listed the site's traffic as 45 million visits in June 2025, with more than half the traffic originating in the United States, with liaison journalists stationed in New York City.
