Template:Jew list Template:JewsByCountry There has been a Jewish presence in Hungary since Roman times (bar a brief expulsion during the Black Death). Jews fared particularly well under the Ottoman Empire, and after emancipation in 1867. At its height, the Jewish population of historical Hungary numbered more than 900,000, but the Holocaust and emigration, especially during the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, has reduced that to around 100,000, most of whom live in Budapest and its suburbs.

This is a list of anyone who could be reliably described as "Hungarian." and is of significant Jewish heritage (ethnic or religious). See List of Hungarian Americans for descendents of Hungarian emigres born abroad, a significant number of whom are/were of Jewish ancestry.
