Mordechai Hod (September 28, 1926 – June 29, 2003) was the Commander of the Israeli Air Force during the 1967 Six-Day War.
Hod was born as Mordechai Fein in the British Mandate of Palestine in Kibbutz Degania in 1926 to Jewish parents, Yosef and Menucha Fein. He later changed his surname from Fein to Hod, keeping with the prevalent custom that period of taking a Hebrew surname when joining the armed forces.
