Iozefart (Josefart) (Tankel) Mina Borisovna (7 November 1914, Žagarė, Lithuania) — seamstress.

Mina Iosefart was born into the family of shoemaker Boris Abelevich Tankel (1878–1940, Žagarė) and housewife Sara Samuilovna Tankel (Kristal) (1881, Žagarė – killed by the Nazis in the Riga Ghetto in 1941).

She completed six grades at the Žagarė Jewish school (1938), then took dressmaking and tailoring courses, and worked as a seamstress in a Žagarė workshop (1938–41). She was evacuated to Fergana, Uzbek SSR, where she worked as a knitter at the Bolshevik factory (1941–45). After moving to Riga, she was an apprentice in a tie-making workshop (1945–47), a seamstress at the Raznoprom artel (1947–48), was unable to work due to illness (1948–66), and later worked as a cleaner at the Home-Workers’ Cooperative (1966–70).

Married to Binyamin Filippovich Iozefart (1911, Ugāle, Latvia), she had two daughters: Roza Binyaminovna Iozefart (1950, Riga) and Aviva Binyaminovna Iozefart (1957, Riga).

In 1970 she received permission to emigrate to Israel, where her cousin Shoshana Zelikovna Lavon (1909, Riga) lived.
