Yiddish studies (Yiddish: ייִדישע לימודים‎, romanized: yidishe limudim; German: Jiddistik) is an area study and academic discipline centered on the study of Yiddish language, literature, and the Ashkenazi Jewish culture of Yiddishkeit (Yiddish: ייִדישקײט‎, romanized: yidishkeyt, lit. 'Jewishness; Yiddishness'). Yiddish studies is interdisciplinary and combines aspects of Jewish history, literary translation and criticism, postcolonialism, Holocaust studies, religious studies, cultural studies, gender and sexuality studies, diaspora studies, Slavic studies, linguistics, and women’s studies. At universities, Yiddish studies is typically situated as a subdiscipline of Germanic and/or Jewish studies.

Yiddish studies often has support in Yiddishism (Yiddish: ייִדישיזם‎), the linguistic and cultural movement to preserve and uplift Yiddishkeit; and Golus nationalism, the recognition of Yiddish as a foremost diasporic Jewish language and culture with Jews residing in Golus (Yiddish: גלות‎, lit. 'exile'), as opposed to in the Hebrew-speaking Land of Israel. Thus, many scholars of Yiddish studies have historically aligned with Bundism and anti-Zionism.
