Mizrahi music (Hebrew: 诪讜讝讬拽讛 诪讝专讞讬转, Muzika Mizrahit) refers to the genre of Middle Eastern style of Israeli Music. It combines elements and flavours of Arabic, Turkish and Greek music brought to Israel by Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews. It is usually sung in Hebrew, but may often be combined with lyrics in Arabic or other languages from lands where Jewish Israeli artists may trace their most recent ancestral roots. The literal definition of Mizrahi in Hebrew is "Eastern" or "from the East."

Typical Mizrahi songs will have a dominant violin or string sound as well as Middle Eastern percussion elements. Mizrahi music is usually high pitched. The themes of Mizrahi pop songs are usually more simple than those of Israeli rock.
