Irving Robert Kaufman (June 24, 1910 - February 1, 1992) was the judge who presided over the trial of Ethel Rosenberg. Roy Cohn, the prosecutor in the case who happened to be a family friend of Kaufman, claimed in his autobiography that his influence led to Kaufman (a family friend) being appointed to the case, and that Kaufman had imposed the death penalty on Cohn's personal advice.

Kaufman excelled in school, and graduated from Fordham College at age 18, and from law school two years later.
