Soloveitchik (Hebrew: סולובייצ'יק Yiddish: סאָלאָווייטשיק) (also Soloveichik) is a surname. The name is an East Slavic patronymic derivation from the nickname Solovey, Russian: соловей, "nightingale", using the diminutive suffix -chik. It is notably the name of a rabbinic family descended from Yosef Dov Soloveitchik (Beis Halevi) (1820-1892). Members include:
