Frank Chodorov (1887 in New York City – 1966) was an American thinker and member of the Old Right, a group of libertarian and conservative ideologists who were non-interventionist in foreign policy (opposing American entry into World War II) and anti–New Deal.

In November 1944, Chodorov established a four-page monthly broadsheet called analysis, described as "an individualistic publication—the only one of its kind in America." Attracting a modest subscriber base, the magazine merged with the conservative weekly Human Events in 1951.

In 1953, Chodorov founded the Intercollegiate Society of Individualists (ISI), with William F. Buckley, Jr. as president, becoming the first national conservative student organization, reaching 50,000 members by the end of the century. In later years, ISI became extremely influential as a clearinghouse of conservative publications and as a locus of the conservative intellectual movement in America. It later evolved into the Intercollegiate Studies Institute.

A secular Jew, he returned to belief in Judaism in later years.^[1]
