Kanyakubja Brahmins, are a Brahmin community mainly found in northern India. They are classified as one of the Pancha Gauda Brahmin communities native to the north of the Vindhyas.^[1]

Sub-groups of this community include the Saryupareen Brahmins and the Jujhautiya Brahmins^[2] among others. In the 19th and 20th national convention of Kanyakubja Brahmins by Kanyakubja Mahati Sabha, in 1926 and 1927 respectively, it reiterated Bhumihar Brahmins to be Kanyakubja Brahmins and appealed for unity among Kanyakubja Brahmins whose different branches included Sanadhya, Pahadi, Jujhoutia, Gangaputra, Saryupareen, Chattisgadhi, Bhumihar and different Bengali Brahmins.^[3]
