Yazidism in Syria refers to people born in or residing in Syria who adhere to Yazidism,^[1] a strictly endogamous religion.^[2][3] Yazidis in Syria live primarily in two communities, one in the Al-Jazira area and the other in the Kurd-Dagh.^[1] Exact population data of Yazidis in Syria is unavailable, but it is estimated that between 10,000-50,000 Yazidis reside in Syria.^[4]

Population numbers for the Syrian Yazidi community are unclear. In 1963, the community was estimated at about 10,000, according to the national census, but numbers for 1987 were unavailable.^[5] There may be between about 12,000 and 15,000 Yazidis in Syria today.^[1][6] Since 2014, more Yazidis from Iraq have sought refuge in the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria to escape the genocide of Yazidis by ISIL.^[7][8][9] In 2014, there were about 40,000 Yazidis in Syria, primarily in the Al-Jazirah.^[10]

Following the extension of the Turkish occupation of northern Syria into the Kurdish-majority Afrin District, reports have emerged of Yazidis in demographically mixed villages of the Kurd-Dagh region being targeted by the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) because of their religious identity,^[11] as well as having their shrines desecrated.^[12] As in October 2019 Turkey invaded the north eastern part of Syria; several Yazidi villages have been targeted and their inhabitants fled to the region still under the control of the AANES.^[13] Kidnapping of Yazidi women and girls by the SNA is an ongoing problem.^[14][15][16]
