Jehudët (hebraisht: יְהוּדִים, Yehudim) janë një grup etnorefetar[10] dhe njerëz feja tradicionale e të cilëve është Judaizmi[11][12] dhe anëtarët e të cilëve janë pasardhës, nëpërmjet prejardhjes ose konvertimit, të hebrenjve të lashtë[11][13][14] ose izraelitëve.[15][16][17] Etnia, feja dhe komuniteti jehud janë shumë të ndërlidhura,[18][19] pasi Judaizmi është një fe etnike,[20][21] edhe pse respektimi i tij ndryshon nga rreptësisht në asnjë.[22][23] Termi "jehud" mund të përfshijë si individët e lindur në komunitet, por që nuk e praktikojnë fenë në mënyrë aktive, ashtu edhe të konvertuarit në Judaizëm.[24]

Para Luftës së Dytë Botërore, popullsia globale jehude arriti një kulm prej 16.7 milion,,[25] që përfaqësonte rreth 0.7 përqind të popullsisë botërore në atë kohë. Gjatë Luftës së Dytë Botërore, rreth 6 milionë hebrenj në të gjithë Evropën u vranë sistematikisht nga Gjermania Naziste gjatë Holokaustit.[26][27] Që atëherë, popullsia është rritur ngadalë përsëri, dhe që nga viti 2021, u vlerësua të ishte 15.2-19.9 milion nga Berman Jewish DataBank,[1] që përbën më pak se 0.2 për qind të popullsisë totale të botës.[28][note 1] Shteti i sotëm i Izraelit është i vetmi vend ku jehudët përbëjnë shumicën e popullsisë.

Përveç çështjeve me metodologjinë e regjistrimit, mosmarrëveshjet midis përkrahësve të faktorëve identifikues halakik, laik, politik dhe stërgjyshorë në lidhje me atë se kush është jehud mund të ndikojnë ndjeshëm në figurë në varësi të burimit.[29]
