Batya Ouziel (Hebrew: בתיה עוזיאל; 1 March 1934 – 6 January 2018) was an Israeli handicrafter and television presenter. She learnt the crafts of embroidery and knitting beginning at an early age and began doing this while serving under instructors from the Gadna in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Ouziel taught art and art history in educational institutes and became well known in Israel for broadcasting a weekly section called In Four Hands with Batya Ouziel about handicrafts over the radio in the 1960s. She broadened her reach when she presented approximately 300 editions of the educational television programme Crafts with Batya Ouziel between 1974 and 1982.
