Mordechai Virshuvski (Hebrew: מרדכי וירשובסקי, 10 May 1930 – 1 May 2012) was an Israeli politician who served as a member of the Knesset (and as Deputy Speaker) for several parties between 1977 and 1992.
In 1974 he was amongst the founders of Shinui, and was elected to the Knesset on the Democratic Movement for Change list (which Shinui was part of) in 1977. When the party split the following year, he stayed with the Shinui faction. He was re-elected in 1981 and 1984. On 5 August 1987 he left Shinui to join Ratz,[1] and was re-elected on the Ratz list in 1988, after which he became a Deputy Speaker. He was a candidate in the 1989 Tel Aviv mayoral election, but finished fourth with 5.7% of the vote.[2] He lost his Knesset seat in the 1992 elections, shortly after Ratz had formed the Meretz alliance with Shinui and Mapam. He ran for the Tel Aviv mayoralty again in 1993, but finished fourth with 3.6% of the vote.[3] He subsequently served on Tel Aviv City Council as a member of Ratz and later of the Greens.
Virshubski was married to Viola (née Israel), and together they have two children and five grandchildren.
