There are different types of moshiachim (Hebrew plural). If you're referring to 2000 years ago, Jews were looking for a King moshiach who would defeat the Romans. According to Jewish belief, the mashiach (Messiah) has not yet come.

The Jews greatly resented being governed by a foreign power, especially a group that was not God-fearing. They believed the Messiah would rise up and overthrow Rome. They did not understand that the Messiah would deliver then from the greater evil of the consequences of their own sin.

However, as opposed to other religions, such as Christianity or Islam, Judaism does not believe that the Messiah has come yet and therefore is not identified with any person. For example, Jews don't believe that Jesus was the Messiah and, therefore, do not accept the Christian or Islamic claims that he was a God prophet or God/son of God.
