Yaacov Dorchin auch Ya'acov Dorchin (hebräisch .mw-parser-output .Hebr{font-size:115%}יעקב דורצ'ין; geboren am 12. März 1946 in Haifa) ist ein israelischer Bildhauer, Maler und Entomologe. Sein künstlerisches Œuvre umfasst unter anderem: Gemälde mit Tusche und verschiedenen Farben, Buchillustrationen, Raum-Installationen. Er ist vor allem bekannt durch Skulpturen, die aus rostigem Eisen hergestellt sind. In den Jahren 1993 bis 1995 fertigte er eine Serie von großen, tonnenschweren Eisenskulpturen, die er “blocked wells” nannte. Die Grundlage dazu bildeten Eisenblöcke, teils mit Schamottsteinen ummantelt, die er im aufgelassenen Materiallager eines Stahlwerks fand und neu verwendete.[1]
