Abraham Links (1886–1953) was a Jewish linen merchant and a central figure of the Zionist movement in Glasgow.

Biography
Links was born in Galicia and moved to Glasgow as a young child. From 1907 onwards, he ran a successful drapery shop in the Gorbals, Main Street. As a member of the Glasgow Zionist movement, he promoted the teaching of the Hebrew language and was involved in the foundation of Glasgow's Hebrew Higher Grade School at 124 South Portland Street which opened in 1911. The school provided Hebrew language education for children and adults. Furthermore, in 1935, Links was among the founders of the first Glasgow office of the Jewish National Fund in Dixon Street.
