Naphtali Hirsch ben Jacob Goslar (Hebrew: נפתלי הירש בן יעקב גאשלר, romanized: Naftali Hirš ben Yaʿaqov Goślar; fl. 18th century) was a German rabbi and philosopher.
Through his father, Jacob Goslar, he was a descendent of Rabbis Moses Isserles and Shabbatai HaKohen.
Initially serving as a dayyan in Halberstadt, he later relocated to Amsterdam, where he began the study of philosophy. In 1762, he published Merome sadeh, a collection of novellae on the Talmud, and Ma'amar efsharit ha-tiv'it, an apologetic work challenging the belief in primeval matter and natural religion.
