Moses Rischin (1925-2020) was an American historian, author, lecturer, editor, and emeritus professor of history at San Francisco State University. He coined the phrase new Mormon history in a 1969 article of the same name. Rischin is considered an authority on American ethnic and immigration history and a pioneer in the field of American Jewish history.
