Chaim Abraham Gagin (1787–1848) was Chief Rabbi of Ottoman Palestine from 1842 to 1848.
Born in Constantinople, he was the grandson of the Jerusalem Kabbalist Shalom Sharabi. Gagin was the first individual to hold both the positions of Hakham Bashi and Rishon Lezion simultaneously following their merger.
Regarded as one of the foremost poskim (Jewish legal decisors) of his era, Gagin also oversaw the Tiferet Yerushalaim Yeshiva. Among his notable works is Sepher Hatakanoth Vehaskamoth, a compendium of Jewish religious rites and customs as practiced in the City of Jerusalem. He was also the author of Chukei Chaim, a work addressing the debate on halukka, and Sefer Chaim MiYerushalaim, a collection of derashot.
In the years 1831-1840, the muslims in the Land of Israel were persecuting the Samaritans to either convert to islam or die, claiming that the Samaritans due to not being either Jewish or Christians were "idol worshippers" and therefore must be killed. The Samaritans asked Gagin to help them, and he wrote a document that the Samaritans are a "Jewish sect" to save them from extermination after many of them were forced to convert to islam.
