eva bacharach (c. 1580 in prague – 1651 in sofia) was a hebraist and rabbinical scholar. she was the daughter of isaac ben simson ha-kohen, and through her mother, vögele, granddaughter of the well-known rabbi of prague, judah loew ben bezalel. her brothers, ḥayyim and naphtali, were also noted rabbis. as a daughter of such a distinguished rabbinical family, she acquired a wide knowledge of hebrew and rabbinical literature, and could often assist rabbis in solving textual difficulties. such erudition was quite uncommon among jewish women of that time, and the memorbuch of worms makes special mention of it ("ḳobeẓ 'al-yad", iii. 15, berlin, 1887).
