Nadvorna is a Hasidic rabbinical dynasty deriving its name from the town of Nadvorna, (Nadvirna), today in Ukraine. The most famous rebbe of the dynasty was Mordechai Leifer of Nadvorna (the son of Rabbi Yissachar Dov Ber (Bertche) Leifer of Nadvorna), whose writings form the corpus of the group's Hasidic thought. He was raised by his great-uncle, Rebbe Meir II of Premishlan. Yissachar Dov Ber (Bertche) Leifer of Nadvorna was a son of Rabbi Yitzchak of Kalish. Since many of the rebbes of the Nadvorna Dynasty (as in other rabbinic dynasties) married relatives, many of the rebbes in this list are sons-in-law of other rebbes on the list. There are Nadvorna congregations in Israel, Brooklyn, London, and Bloomingburg, among others. The mode of dress of Nadvorna rebbes is unique in that they typically wear a white gartel over a colorful bekishe, and a white crocheted Jerusalem-style kippah under their shtreimel. Rebbes are known as "Admorim" (Hebrew אדמו"ר, which is the acronym for "אדוננו מורינו ורבינו", "Adoneinu Moreinu V'Rabeinu", "Our master, our teacher, and our rabbi").
