The Max Factor Family is an American Jewish family. The family owes its initial fame to the Polish-Jewish businessman, entrepreneur and inventor, Max Factor Sr. (Maksymilian Faktorowicz), the founder of the reknown cosmetics giant Max Factor.

Until its 1973 sale for US$2.7 billion, Max Factor & Company was owned by several generations of the family, becoming an international company during that time. Procter & Gamble purchased it in 1991.
