'''Algerians''' ({{Lang-ar|الجزائريون|translit=al-Jaza'iriyun}}) are the [[Algerian nationality law|citizens and nationals]] of the [[Algeria|People's Democratic Republic of Algeria]]. The majority of the country's population is composed of [[Arabs]] who make up 85% of the population, however there is a [[Berbers|Berber]] minority of 15%.<ref name=":6" /> The term also applies more broadly to any people who are of Algerian nationality, sharing a [[Culture of Algeria|common culture and identity]], as well as those who natively speak [[Algerian Arabic]] or other [[languages of Algeria]].<ref name=":6">{{Cite web |title=Algeria - The World Factbook |url=https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/algeria/ |access-date=2023-01-29 |website=www.cia.gov}}</ref> |

In addition to the approximately 44 million residents of Algeria, there is a large Algerian diaspora as part of the wider [[Arab diaspora]]. Considerable Algerian populations can be found in [[Algerians in France|France]], [[Algerians in Spain|Spain]], [[Algerians in Italy|Italy]], and the [[Algerians in the United Kingdom|United Kingdom]]; with smaller notable concentrations in other [[Arab world|Arab states]] as well as the [[Algerian Americans|United States]], and [[Algerian Canadians|Canada]]. |
