Abraham ben Löb Oppenheim (died November 2, 1786) was a German rabbi. He was for many years a member of the Kloyz of Mannheim. He later held similar positions in Amsterdam and Hanover, where he died at an advanced age.[1]

Oppenheim published various notes on the Oraḥ Ḥayyim, including Margenita Shappira (Amsterdam, 1767), on the regulations concerning the shofar, and Eshel Abraham, on the Be'er Heṭeb.[2]
