Jacob M. "Jascha" Gegna or Gegner (Yiddish: יעקב געגנער, 1879–1944) was an American violinist, teacher, composer and recording artist. Today he is mainly remembered for his work as a teacher in New York and Los Angeles, as well as his early twentieth century 78 rpm recordings of solo klezmer violin music which are among the only of their type to have been preserved. Gegna is also one of the few historical klezmer musicians to have recorded both in Europe and in the United States.
