The Jauch family is a German Hanseatic family that can be traced back to the Late Middle Ages. In the late 17th century, they settled in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, where they engaged in long-distance trade. Members of the family became hereditary grand burghers of Hamburg and acquired the Lordship of Wellingsbüttel, today a part of the city's Wellingsbüttel district.

The Jauch family has produced a number of notable descendants, both through the male and female lines.
