Dawid Moryc Apfelbaum, sometimes also known as Mieczysław Dawid Apfelbaum is a disputed soldier who some contend was incorrectly credited as the commander of the Jewish Military Union, that fought in the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, during the Second World War. It is claimed he died on 28 April 1943. Some allege he also served as a lieutenant of the Polish Armed Forces prior to the conflict.

Apfelbaum was first attested in statements by Tadeusz Bednarczyk, and later also mentioned by Władysław Zajdler, and Kałmen Mendelson, all of whom have claimed to have fought in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943 under Apfelbaum's command, and to be members of the Polish Home Army. Their statements have been found by historians to be false, and their actual participation in the conflict, as well as the existence of Apfelbaum, was questioned.[citation needed]
