Rabbi Mechir son of Rabbi Yitzchak son of Sar Chesed was a leading Spanish sage during the time of Rabbein Nissim.

The Avkat Rochel edition printed in Lvov, 1792 was attributed in error to Rabbeinu Mechir teacher of Rashi. Rabbi Avraham Turteil, in his Kabbalah book clarifies that the author was in fact Rabbi Mechir son of Rabbi Yitzchak.
