Golansky Isaak Ilyich (born 1943, Tekeli, Kazakh SSR) — technologist.

Isaak Golansky was born into the family of Ilya Savelyevich Golansky (1911, Viļaka, Latvia), a driver, and Zelda Lvovna Golanskaya (née Levina) (1915, Novgorod), a homemaker.

He graduated from the Riga Technical College of Light Industry (1959–1963). He worked in Riga as an assistant foreman at the “Juglas Manufaktūra” textile factory (1963–1964). He served in the Soviet Army in Kaliningrad (1964–1965), and upon demobilisation worked in Riga as a foreman and later head of the repair and mechanical department at Branch No. 1 of the Latvian Worsted Manufacturing Association (1966–1971).

In 1971, Isaak Golansky was granted permission to emigrate to Israel, where his paternal uncle Yosef Savelyevich Golansky (born 1913, Viļaka) was already residing.
