Sholem Stein is the name of a fictional character and mystification created by Americans Henry Jacobs and Woody Leafer for their radio show Music and Folkore, a radio show dedicated to world music.

Henry Jacobs often brought experts in certain ethnic music onto the show to provide background information. When no experts were available, he would not infrequently fake it - most notably in the case of "Sholem Stein", a putative Hebrew musicologist who claimed that calypso music had deep Rabbinical meanings.

He was "interviewed" by Lenny Bruce.
