Jewish lobby is a neologism used in recent political discourse referring to the existence of a Jewish ethnic group exercising unwarranted influence on the US government.

Tariq Ramadan denotes the discourse on the "manipulative hand of the 'Jewish lobby'" as anti-Semitic language and asks "Muslim voices" to set themselves apart. Mark Strauss links the term's usage to a sentiment present in the Anti-globalization movement. The Washington Times denotes John Mearsheimer's and Stephen Walt's usage of the term as the "recycling of old canards", inviting "authentic anti-Semites out of the shadows."
