List of Jews in sports

This list of Jewish athletes in sports contains athletes who are Jewish and have attained outstanding achievements in sports. The topic of Jewish participation in sports is discussed extensively in academic and popular literature.

Sports have been a historical avenue for Jewish people to overcome obstacles toward their participation in secular society. Jewish people immigrated from the countries where they had faced persecution. Some made Aliyah to the State of Israel, while others moved elsewhere.

The criteria for inclusion in this list are:

• 1–3 places winners at major international tournaments;
• For team sports, winning in preliminary competitions of finals at major international tournaments, or playing for several seasons for clubs of major national leagues; or
• Holders of past and current world records.

Boldface denotes a current competitor.

To be included in the list, one does not necessarily have to practice Judaism. Some members of the list may practice another faith or not at all; they do have to be of either ethnic Jewish descent or other Judaism-related background.
