Maximilian Goldstein (1880–1942) was a distinguished collector of Jewish antiquities, as well as a numismatist and specialist in Jewish folk art. He built his Judaica collection over a period of more than thirty years, placing special emphasis on Jewish artifacts of Galicia.
After the establishment of Soviet power in western Ukraine, Goldstein was appointed director of the Jewish Museum in Lviv.
Goldstein was later captured by the Nazis, who occupied Poland, and was taken to Janowska concentration camp, where he was murdered in 1942.
