Alberto Mizrahi (hebräisch: אלברטו מזרחי, geboren Ende der 1940er Jahre in Griechenland) ist ein US-amerikanischer Sänger jüdischer Musik. Er ist seit 1990 Kantor der Anshe Emet Synagoge in Chicago, tritt aber auch in Konzerten klassischer Musik auf, in Jam-Sessions, Klezmer-Konzerten und Crossover-Projekten.

Mizrahi entstammt einer sephardischen Familie, die bald nach seiner Geburt in die Vereinigten Staaten emigrierte. Er absolvierte seine Ausbildung am Kantorenseminar des Jewish Theological Seminary in New York City und wurde dort in der aschkenasischen Gesangstradition unterrichtet. Zu seinen Lehrern zählten die berühmten Kantoren David Kusevitsky (1911-1985), der aus Vilnius stammte, und Moshe Ganchoff (1904-1997), der in Odessa geboren wurde.

Cantor Mizrahi has appeared as guest cantor throughout the United States, Europe, and Israel—in synagogue services as well as in cantorial programs.
