Zerahiah the Greek, also known in Hebrew as Zerachiah ha-Yavani and by the acronymic nickname Ra'Za'H, was a Greek Jewish ethicist who lived in the Byzantine Empire in the thirteenth or fourteenth century. Almost nothing is known of his life beyond his authorship of an ethical work titled Sefer ha-Yashar, a title later confused with an unrelated halakhic work of the same name and mistakenly attributed to the tosafist Jacob Tam.
