List of Jewish states and dynasties

This list is incomplete; you can help by . (November 2019)

This is a list of dynasties and states that have had ties to Judaism and/or the Jewish people (with polities concentrated around the latter constituting nation-states); as Judaism is the ethnic religion of the Jewish people, it is generally uncommon for non-Jewish ethnicities to practise it, although broad cases of observance of Judaism by non-Jews have been recorded throughout history. Alongside those established by ethnic Jews, this list includes polities established by non-Jewish practitioners of Judaism.
