'T. Carmi' (December 31, 1925 – November 20, 1994) was an Israeli poet.
Born 'Carmi Charny' in New York City. Hebrew was his mother tongue and his family used it as the spoken language of their home. He moved to Israel just before the outbreak of the Israeli War of Independence. He died in 1994. His books translated into English include ''Blemish and Dream'' (1951), ''There are no black Flowers'' (1953), ''The Brass Serpent'' (1961), ''Somebody Like You'' (1971), and ''At The Stone Of Losses'' (1983).
He was also a leading and prolific translator of Shakespeare to Hebrew, his translations include ''Midsummer Nights Dream'', ''Measure For Measure'', ''Hamlet'', ''Much Ado About Nothing'' and ''Othello''.

T. Carmi was also the pseudonymous author, "Kush," of the eternally classic Israeli children's book "Shmulikipod." A sick boy laments that he has no one for company but the donkeys on his pyjamas. Relief comes in the form of a visit from a somewhat short-tempered hedgehog (Hebr. "kipod") named Shmulik.
