Avrohom Gurwicz is an English-born Orthodox rabbi and Talmudic scholar. Since 1983 he has been the rosh yeshivah of Gateshead Talmudical College, a yeshiva in Gateshead, England, where he has been giving the largest shiur (Torah lecture) in Europe with approximately 250 students attending, for approximately half a century.

Rabbi Gurwicz is the second son of Rabbi Leib Gurwicz, the previous Gateshead rosh yeshivah. He is the grandson of Rabbi Elyah Lopian and son-in-law of Reb Elyah's son, Rabbi Leib Lopian. Through his father's mother, he is a descendant of the Vilna Gaon.

Rabbi Gurwicz married the daughter of his uncle, Rabbi Leib Lopian, and his wife, Tzipa. He is a brother-in-law (through his sister Sarah) to Rabbi Zvi Kushelevsky, head of the Heichal Hatorah beTzion yeshiva in Jerusalem. Among his sons-in-law is Rabbi Nissan Kaplan, a maggid shiur in the Mir yeshiva in Jerusalem.
