List of Jews from the Arab world

Until the 20th century, Jews accounted for a significant minority among the populations of West Asia and North Africa, which has mostly consisted of the Arab world since the early Muslim conquests. Following the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, the majority of the Arab world's Jews—numbering around 900,000 people—left or were expelled in waves of mass movement that continued until the 1970s. Roughly 72% of these refugees were absorbed by Israel and the remainder largely by the Western world. This article provides a list of prominent Jews with either full or partial origins in the territory of the Arab world from as far back as the early medieval era.
