Izhbitza-Radzin is a dynasty of Hasidic rebbes. The first rebbe was Rabbi Mordechai Yosef Leiner from Izbica (in present-day Poland), author of Mei Hashiloach who left the court of Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Kotzk to found his own Hasidic movement in 1839.

His son and successor, Rabbi Yaakov Leiner of Izhbitza, moved to Radzin. The dynasty today is therefore known more as the "Radziner Dynasty". The third Rebbe, Rabbi Gershon Henoch Leiner of Radzin, re-instituted the use of a version of techeiles of the tzitzis.

The better known works of the Izhbitzer-Radziner Rebbes are Mei Hashiloach, Beis Yaakov, Sod Yesharim, and Tiferes Yosef. Today, the largest center of Radziner Hasidim is found in Bnei Brak, Israel, under the leadership of Rabbi Shlomo Yosef Englard of Radzin.
