Aškenazi (hebr. אַשְׁכְּנַזִּים — „Nemci”)[1] su jevrejska etnička grupa[2] koja je sjedinila u zasebnu zajednicu Jevreja u Svetom rimskom carstvu pred kraj 1. milenijuma.[3] Tradicionalni jezik Aškenaza čine razni dijalekti jidiš jezika.
Uspostavili su svoje zajednice širom srednje i istočne Evrope, koja je bila njihov primarni region gdje su razvijali osobene karakteristike i identitet dijaspore.[4] U kasnom srednjem vijeku središte gravitiranja Aškenaza, a i tradicionalni kulturni život, pomjerao se prema istoku,[5] izvan njemačkih zemalja u Poljsku i Litvaniju (uključujući današnju Bjelorusiju i Ukrajinu).[6][7] Tokom kasnog 18. vijeka i početkom 19. vijeka, oni Jevreji koji su ostali u Njemačkoj ili su se tu vratili, doživjeli su kulturnu preorijentaciju; pod uticajem Haskala i borbe za emancipaciju, praćeno intelektualnim i kulturnim previranjima u urbanim centrima, postepeno su prestali sa upotrebom jidiš jezika, pri tome razvijajući nove oblike jevrejskog vjerskog života i kulturnog identiteta.[8]
Aškenazi su ostavili svoj trag u evropskom načinu života,[9] davajući ogroman doprinos čovječanstvu[10] i evropskoj kulturi na raznim poljima: filozofija, književnost, umjetnost, muzika i nauka.[11][12] Genocidni uticaj Holokausta, masovna ubistva oko šest miliona Jevreja u Drugom svjetskom ratu, devastirao je Aškenaze i njihov način života, pogađajući skoro sve jevrejske porodice.[13][14]
Procjenjuje se da su Aškenazi činili samo 3% jevrejske populacije u 11. vijeku, dok su na svom vrhuncu 1931. godine činili 92% jevrejsko populacije. Neposredno prije Holokausta, broj Jevreja na svijetu bio je oko 16,7 miliona.[15] Statistički podaci savremenog broj aškenaške populacije, idu od 10[16] do 11,2[17] miliona. Serđo Delapergola u gruboj procjeni broj Sefarda i Mizrahima, zaključuje da Aškenazi čine najmanje 74% ukupne jevrejske populacije.[18] Prema drugim procjenama čine 75% svjetske jevrejske populacije.[19]

According to Gedaliah ibn Jechia the Spaniard, in the name of Sefer Yuchasin (see: Gedaliah ibn Jechia, Shalshelet Ha-Kabbalah, Jerusalem 1962, p. 219; p. 228 in PDF), the descendants of Ashkenaz had also originally settled in what was then called Bohemia, which today is the present-day Czech Republic. These places, according to the Jerusalem Talmud (Megillah 1:9 [10a], were also called simply by the diocese „Germamia”. Germania, Germani, Germanica have all been used to refer to the group of peoples comprising the German Tribes, which include such peoples as Goths, whether Ostrogoths or Visigoths, Vandals and Franks, Burgundians, Alans, Langobards, Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Suebi and Alamanni. The entire region east of the Rhine River was known by the Romans as „Germania” (Germany). - ^ Mišić, Milan, ur. (2005). Enciklopedija Britanika. A-B. Beograd: Narodna knjiga : Politika. str. 91.
