Isaac Haim Bitton (29 June 1779 – 1839) was a Dutch bare-knuckle boxer who is most famous for a fight which lasted 74 rounds.

Bitton was born in Amsterdam to a family of poor Jewish street hawkers. Due to a poor Dutch economy, he emigrated to London with his father at the age of ten.

He is an ancestor of the EastEnders actress June Brown and was featured on Who Do You Think You Are? in August 2011.
