Izhar Ashdot (born 1958, Jerusalem) is an Israeli singer-songwriter, guitarist, and a record producer. He is a co-founding member of the Israeli rock band T-Slam.

After the successful T-Slam reunion shows in 1990, Ashdot started to work on his first solo album, released in 1992 and eventually reaching "gold" status. The album included "Ish HaShokolad" (Chocolate Man), "HaLelilot Shelanu" (Our Nights), "Ma Tomri" (What Will You Say) and "No'a Shel HaYam" (The Sea's No'a). Two years later he recorded his second album, which included "Hiroshima Sheli" (My Hiroshima) and "Tzilo Shel Yom Kaitz" (Summer Day's Shadow).

In January 2008, Izhar expanded his band and went on a new tour, celebrating his love for Irish music. On "Rikud Katan - The Irish Tour", Izhar invited multi instrumentalist Ehud Nathan, who front's the celtic-Irish instrumental band "Ktifa Sh'hora" (Black Velvet) and violinist Dina Lurie to join his band. The successful tour yielded the live album Rikud Katan which included the eponymous hit song.
