Midrash Iyyob (Hebrew: מדרש איוב) or Midrash to Job is an aggadic midrash that is no longer extant.

Explicit reference to the source Midrash Iyyob are found in relation to Job 1:14,^[1] to Job 1:6,^[2] to Job 1:1 and 4:12,^[3] to Job 7:9,^[4] to Job 2:1 [?],^[5] and to Job 4:10.^[6] In addition, the quotes found in the Yalkut Makiri to Psalms 61:7 and 146:4 with the source-reference "Midrash" and referring to Job 3:2 and 38:1 may be taken from Midrash Iyyob, as may be many passages in the Job commentaries of Samuel b. Nissim Masnuth^[7] and Isaac b. Solomon.^[8] The extracts and quotations from Midrash Iyyob have been collected by Wertheimer.^[9]

Strack & Stemberger (1991) cite an opinion attributing Midrash Iyyov to the amora Hoshaiah Rabbah (3rd century), although this dating is uncertain.
