The Yosef family is an Israeli family noted for prominent Mizrahi Rabbis, and for its involvement in Israeli politics through the Shas political party. Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel 1973-1983 and founder of Shas was considered the pre-eminent leader of Mizrahi Jews during and after his lifetime. Yosef also founded the Badatz Beit Yosef, an agency for certifying that food is kosher. Badatz Beit Yosef is one of the largest such agencies in Israel, and is a major source of wealth for the family.

Yosef's children and grandchildren are prominent in Israeli society, particularly in the Mizrahi and religious media. Some occupy or have occupied prominent rabbinic roles, others are known for commercial, social or political activities. Since the death of Ovadia Yosef, feuds and an inheritance dispute have been reported among the family. The posthumous leaking of recordings of Ovadia Yosef privately discussions with family members about politicians played a prominent part in a leadership struggle within the Shas party.
