Afro-Salvadorans (Spanish: Afrosalvadoreños), also known as Black Salvadorans (Spanish: Salvadoreños negros) are Salvadorans of total or predominantly Sub-Saharan African ancestry. They are the descendants of slaves brought to El Salvador via the Trans-atlantic slave trade during the colonial Spanish era.[4]
