Isaac Don Levine (January 19, 1892 - February 15 , 1981) was an American journalist and writer.

Born in Mozyr, Russia, Levine came to the United States in 1911. He finished high school in Missouri, and found work with The Kansas City Star and later The New York Herald Tribune, for which he covered the Revolution of 1917. He would return to Russia to cover the Civil War for The Chicago Daily News in the early 1920s.

For the Hearst papers Levine was a columnist through the late 1920s and 1930s. He edited the anti-communist magazine Plain Talk from 1946 till 1950, but did not join The Freeman, opting for a stint with Radio Free Europe in West Germany instead.

Levine also provided testimony to the House Un-American Activities Committee, in the case against Alger Hiss.
