Country Yossi is the name of a monthly, English-language Orthodox Jewish magazine, a radio show, a collection of musical albums, and children's books created, composed, authored, and published by Yossi (Joseph) Toiv, who took on the nickname "Country Yossi" and then transferred it onto the magazine, radio show, musical albums, and children's books he published for the mostly Orthodox Jewish market in the United States.

Toiv, going by the name of "Country Yossi" on radio, is the host of the light-hearted, Orthodox Jewish radio program "Country Yossi Show" in the New York City area, which he pioneered. The show has been on the air continuously since 1986.

Through his magazine and radio show, Toiv has promoted the careers of many singers and entertainers catering to the Orthodox Jewish market, including Dovid Gabay, Avi Newmark, Yacov Young, Shua Kessin, Yossi Green,Eli Gerstner, and Shauli.
