Algerians (Arabic: الجزائريون, romanizedal-Jazāʾiriyyūn, pronounced) are the citizens and nationals of the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria. The majority of the country's population speaks Algerian Arabic, while Berber languages are spoken by a significant minority, estimated at around 15% of the population. The term also applies more broadly to any people who are of Algerian nationality, sharing a common culture and identity, as well as those who natively speak Algerian Arabic or other languages of Algeria.

In addition to the approximately 46 million residents of Algeria, there is a large Algerian diaspora as part of the wider Arab diaspora. Considerable Algerian populations can be found in France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom; with smaller notable concentrations in other Arab states as well as non-Arab countries such as the United States, and Canada.
