thumb|Coat of arms of Barons Hurmuzachi thumb|Hurmuzachi palace The Hurmuzachi family (Hurmuzaki, Hurmuzache) is a Romanian noble family of Greek origin, whose members were noted politicians, jurists and historians in the Duchy of Bukovina and held the title of Baron in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. During the 17th-19th centuries they were associated with the Cernăuca estate in Bukovina.
== History == The most prominent members were the Hurmuzachi brothers. Their father was Doxachi Hurmuzachi (d. April 1857), who eventually re-acquired Cernăuca after the documents of the ownership of the estate by the family had been lost and built a new boier palace and church and planted park there. Doxaki married Iuliana (Ilinka, Olena) Murguleț (d.1858), daughter of a Romanian boier (stolnic), and they had 12 children, of whom 7 survived: the five brothers and two sisters, Eufrozina and Eliza.
