Isaac Ledonitz (1851-1912) was a Braslander banker. He was the son of Moses Ledonitz.

In 1881 he married Esther Steinberg. They had four children: Gertrud (born and died 1882), Ella (born 1884), David (born 1885) and Miriam (born 1887). Esther died in 1898, and Isaac never remarried. He was ennobled in 1899.

He was in charge of managing the Markund office of the family bank. In this capacity, he was responsible of a great expansion in the interests of the Ledonitz family. His son David was expected to become his heir, but after his marriage and conversion to Catholicism he was excluded from the family businesses and he founded his own bank.

In 1884, two years after his father's death, Isaac and his brothers founded Ledonitz Brothers, the largest bank in Brasland.

Isaac died in 1912.
