Bialik Institute (Hebrew: מוסד ביאליק, romanized: Mosad Bialik) is a research institution and publishing house, mostly dealing with the history and culture of the Hebrew language. It was established in 1935 by the World Zionist Executive and the Executive of the Jewish Agency and named after the Hebrew poet Hayim Nahman Bialik. Its works are mostly published in Hebrew and in English.
