The history of the Jews in Luxembourg dates back to the 1200s. There are roughly 1,200 Jews in Luxembourg,^[1] and Jews form one of the largest and most important religious and ethnic minority communities in Luxembourg historically.

Judaism is the fifth-largest religious denomination in Luxembourg, behind Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, Orthodox Christianity, and Islam. By absolute size, Luxembourg's community is one of the smallest in the European Union; relative to total population, it is the sixth largest.^[2] Judaism is recognised and supported by the government as one of the major state-mandated religions (see: Religion in Luxembourg).
