美國猶太人（英語：American Jews）為具有猶太信仰或猶太血統的美國人。美國猶太社群體現了廣泛的猶太文化傳統，包括全方位的猶太宗教儀式。

根據宗教定義和不同的人口數據，美國擁有世界上最大或第二大的猶太社群，僅次於以色列。2012年，美國猶太人口估計在550萬至800萬之間，具體取決於該術語的定義，吉米國總人口的1.7％至2.6％。^[9]

族群

目前美國的猶太人主要為阿什肯納茲猶太人的後裔，其他少數猶太族群，如塞法迪猶太人及米茲拉希猶太人及轉變信仰為猶太教者亦為美國猶太人的一部分。美國猶太人族群通常保持著猶太裔的文化傳統，並遵守猶太教的戒律。

根據宗教統計原則的差異或人口移動的因素，美國是世界猶太族群第一大（或因統計準則差異為第二大）猶太聚集地區。美國猶太人的人口約為5,128,000，占2007年美國人口的1.7%。^[10]^[11]若考慮在文化上認同猶太文化但不一定信仰猶太教的人數，美國猶太人的人數為6,489,000，占2008年統計人數的2.2%。^[12]與之相比，以色列國中央統計局宣布的國內猶太人口總數在2009年為5,664,000，占以色列人口的75.4%。^[13]

政治

大多數的美國猶太人是民主黨的支持者，投票給民主黨的猶太人約70%至80%，僅次於非洲裔美國人及拉美裔美國人。另外約一至兩成保守的正教猶太教和支持以色列的猶太人則支持共和黨。近年由於美國的外交政策逐漸平衡，特別是民主黨改變立場不再偏袒以色列，使堅定支持以色列的共和黨增加支持的可能性。

尤其以唐納·川普總統為近期最為代表的一位，他主張強化以美關係，並且為以色列做了多項貢獻包含軍事方面。但是一部分行為存在者巨大爭議。例如：美國承認耶路撒冷為首都、承認以色列對戈蘭高地的主權。

宗教

美國猶太人對信仰不熱衷，與美國天主教徒和新教徒相信上帝的比例相比，明顯較低。2003年的統計數字，指美國全國信仰上帝的有79%，猶太人則只有48%。近年不少猶太人信奉佛教，佔美國佛教徒比例約30%，但在文化上仍有猶太傳統。
