Max James Emden (October 28,1874 in Hamburg – June 26, 1940 in Muralto, Switzerland) was a German Jewish businessman, philanthropist and art collector whose properties, including valuable paintings, have been the object of Nazi era restitution claims. The manner in which his legacy has been handled has sparked a debate in Germany about the erasure of information concerning the Nazi era and inspired films about his life.
