Tikunei haZohar (תקוני הזהר, lit. "Repairs of the Zohar"), also known as the Tikunim (תקונים), is a main text of the Kabbalah which was composed in the 14th century.

It is a separate appendix to the Zohar consisting of seventy commentaries on the opening word of the Torah, Bereishit ("in the beginning"), in the Midrashic style. The theme of Tikunei haZohar is to repair and support the Shekhinah or Malkhut — hence its name, "Repairs of the Zohar" — and to bring on the Redemption and conclude the Exile.

Tikunei haZohar was first printed in Mantua in 1558, followed by Constantinople editions in 1719 and 1740. Modern citations generally follow the 1740 pagination.^[1]
