Pittsburg or Pitsburg may refer to:

Pittsburg (Hasidic dynasty)

Pittsburg is a Hasidic dynasty founded in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1924 by Rabbi Yosef Leifer, a Hungarian rabbi and descendant of Rabbi Mordechai of Nadvorna. This is one of the few Hasidic dynasties named after an American city (others are Boston, Cleveland, Milwaukee and Philadelphia).

After flourishing in America for 46 years, the Hasidut was relocated to the Israeli coastal city of Ashdod under the leadership of Rabbi Yosef Leifer's son and successor, Rabbi Avraham Abba Leifer. Today the Hasidut is led by Rabbi Avraham Abba's son, Rabbi Mordechai Yissachar Ber Leifer, who presides over a nucleus of about 100 Pittsburger families in Ashdod as well as families in Jerusalem, Bnei Brak, Beit Hilkia, New York and California. Owing to the small size of the Hasidut, each member has a personal relationship with the Rebbe and Rebbetzin, who speak English, Hebrew and Yiddish.
