Reuben Brainin, Reuven Brainin, or Ruben Brainin (Hebrew: ראובן בריינין‎; March 16, 1862, Ljady (ru) (now in the Dubrovna District) - November 30, 1939, New York) was a Jewish publicist and biographer.

He was born in Russia (in the "Lithuania", now Belarus) in the last half of the 19th century and had moved to Berlin by 1902.

At different times Brainin contributed to the periodicals Ha-Meliẓ, Ha-Toren, Ha-Ẓefirah, Ha-Maggid, and Ha-Shiloaḥ. In 1895 he issued a periodical under the title "Mi-Mizraḥ u-Mi-Ma-arab" (From East and West), of which only four numbers appeared.

Brainin is the author of several pamphlets, the most important of which are his sketch of Pereẓ Smolenskin's life and works, Warsaw, 1896; and a translation of M. Lazarus' essay on Jeremiah, Warsaw, 1897. He has also written about one hundred biographical sketches of modern Jewish scholars and writers.
