土耳其犹太人历史（土耳其語：Türk Yahudileri ，希伯來語：יהודים טורקים，羅馬化：Yehudim Turkim ）是指生活在土耳其的犹太人歷史。
至少从公元一世紀开始，就有猶太人在安納托利亞定居（羅馬尼奧猶太人）。奥斯曼帝国时代之前的安纳托利亚的犹太人主要由讲希腊语的羅馬尼奧猶太人组成，此外还有少数犹太教卡拉派信徒。十五世纪末和十六世纪初，許多生活在西班牙、葡萄牙和意大利南部居住的塞法迪犹太人因為阿罕布拉法令而被驅逐，其中有很多人來到奥斯曼帝国各地定居。
截至16世纪末，奥斯曼帝国境內的的犹太人数量達15万，是當時猶太人人口最多的國家。 [1][2]
犹太人是現今土耳其官方承认的四个少数民族之一。 [3][4][5][6][7][8]如今，許多歷史上曾在土耳其定居的猶太人都已移民至以色列。不過土耳其境內仍然有少量犹太人口，其中绝大多数居住在伊斯坦布尔，還有一些居住在伊兹密尔。

Turkey is a nation–state built on remnants of the Ottoman Empire where non-Muslim minorities were guaranteed the right to set up educational institutions; however, since its establishment, it has officially recognised only Armenians, Greeks and Jews as minorities and guaranteed them the right to manage educational institutions as enshrined in the Treaty of Lausanne. [...] Private language teaching courses teach ‘traditionally used languages’, elective language courses have been introduced in public schools and universities are allowed to teach minority languages.

However, Turkey put a reservation on Article 27 of the Covenant which limited the scope of the right of ethnic, religious or linguistic minorities to enjoy their own culture, to profess and practice their own religion or to use their own language. This reservation provides that this right will be implemented and applied in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Turkish Constitution and the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne. This implies that Turkey grants educational right in minority languages only to the recognized minorities covered by the Lausanne who are the Armenians, Greeks and the Jews.

The fact that Turkish constitutional law takes an even more restrictive approach to minority rights than required under the Treaty of Lausanne was recognised by the UN Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD) in its concluding observations on the combined fourth to sixth periodic reports of Turkey. The CERD noted that “the treaty of Lausanne does not explicitly prohibit the recognition of other groups as minorities” and that Turkey should consider recognising the minority status of other groups, such as Kurds. 50 In practice, this means that Turkey grants minority rights to “Greek, Armenian and Jewish minority communities while denying their possible impact for unrecognized minority groups (e.g. Kurds, Alevis, Arabs, Syriacs, Protestants, Roma etc.)”.
