Oberlander Jews (Yiddish: אויבערלאנד, romanized: Oyberland, lit. 'Highland'; Hebrew: גליל עליון "Upper Province") were the Jews who inhabited the northwestern regions of the historical Kingdom of Hungary, which are contemporary western Slovakia and Burgenland. "Oberland", in this context, is a Hungarian-Jewish historiographic term, unrelated to the territory of Upper Hungary (Oberungarn, sometimes Oberland).
