Template:Jew list

This is a list of famous Jewish American composers. For listings of famous Jewish American songwriters, musicals writers, and film composers, see List of Jewish American musicians, which shares some names with this list. For other famous Jewish Americans, see List of Jewish Americans.

Persons listed with a double asterisks (**) are winners of the Pulitzer Prize for Music. Jewish composers constitute 20% of the award's recipients, although Jewish Americans are less than 2% of the United States population. This list includes both Jewish composers who were born and raised in the United States and who were born in Europe or elsewhere and immigrated to and settled in the United States.
