Fijian New Zealanders are persons of Fijian descent or ancestry who reside in New Zealand. Fijians are one of the largest immigrant groups in New Zealand, and Fijian New Zealanders include Fijians of ITaukei, Indo-Fijian, Rotuman, and multiracial heritage. Most Fijian New Zealanders, regardless of ancestry, identify as Pasifika, due to their origins in Oceania, although some Indo-Fijian New Zealanders may identify as Asian New Zealanders.[1] Fiji is the seventh-most common country of birth of immigrants to New Zealand, and in 2023, Fiji was the fifth-most common country of origin of those who immigrated to New Zealand that year.
