The Lehman family (also Lehmann, Liehmann or Liehman) is a prominent family of Jewish German-Americans who founded the financial firm Lehman Brothers. Some were also involved in American politics.^[1] Members have married into the prominent Morgenthau, Loeb, and Bronfman families.

The family traces back to Abraham Lehmann, a cattle merchant in Rimpar, Bavaria, who changed his Yiddish (German-Jewish) surname Löw (Loeb) to the German Lehman.

The Lehman family tree includes a governor, a chief justice of the New York State court of appeals, a secretary of the treasury, two ambassadors, members of the U.S. House of Representatives, the House of Lords, and the House of Commons, and a New York State parks commissioner. So, when descendants of one of America's most prominent German Jewish dynasties gather later this month, it will be no ordinary reunion.
