Maurice Cohen (1927—2006) was a cryptographer for Mossad. His older brother was the celebrated Israeli spy Eli Cohen. He discovered his brother's identity through his decryption work.

Born in Egypt to Syrian parents and living in Ramat Gan, Maurice spent his life commemorating his brother's legacy and appealing to bring back Eli Cohen's bones to burial in Israel, which Syria refuses to do. He died in December 2006.
