Pliner Feiga (Veiga) (20 June 1900, Lutzen [Ludza], Vitebsk Governorate – date unknown) was a teacher.

Feiga Pliner studied in Ludza at the Municipal Jewish Primary School headed by S. Khilkin. From 1914 to 1926, she attended the Alexandrov Gymnasium in Ostrov, Pskov Governorate, and in 1919–1920 studied at the Ludza Gymnasium. In 1920, she completed the State Summer Pedagogical Courses. In 1928, she attended summer courses of the Latvian Jewish Teachers’ Association “Hamore” focused on the study of Hebrew, and in the same year received a certificate qualifying her as a fully authorized primary-school teacher.

She began her teaching career in 1916 in Rēzekne, at the Jewish People’s School, where she taught Religious Studies and Hebrew. From 1919, she worked in Ludza at the Municipal Jewish School. Beginning in 1920, she taught in Riga at the Primary School of the Jewish Women’s Community (4 Popova Street). From 1922, she worked at the Jewish Primary School in Jelgava, and from 1923 returned to Riga, teaching at the Primary and Secondary School of the Jewish Society for the Advancement of Art and Knowledge. She later transferred to Riga Municipal Jewish Primary School No. 10, where she taught until the summer of 1941.

Feiga Pliner was murdered during the Holocaust.
