Isaac ibn Latif (c. 1210–1280) was a Jewish philosopher who lived most of his life in Toledo, Spain. In 1238 he published his first work, a treatise named sha'ar ha-shama'yim ("heaven's gate"), a commentary on Koheles (Ecclesiastes). Other works by ibn Latif include Iggeret ha-Teshuvah and Tsurat ha-Olam (published 1260; printed 1860 in Vienna). The earliest printing of his Sefer Rov Po'a'lim ספר פעלים, was in 1885. His father's name was Abraham (אברהם); he had a son named Moses (משה).
