Black Canadians[nb 1] (French: Canadiens Noirs), also known as African Canadians (French: Canadiens Africains) or Afro-Canadians (French: Afro-Canadiens), are Canadians of full or partial sub-Saharan African descent.[13][14] The majority of Black Canadians are of Caribbean and African origin, though the Black Canadian population also consists of African Americans in Canada and their descendants (including Black Nova Scotians).[15]

Black Canadians have contributed to many areas of Canadian culture.[16] Many of the first visible minorities to hold high public offices have been Black, including Michaëlle Jean, Donald Oliver, Stanley G. Grizzle, Rosemary Brown, and Lincoln Alexander.[17] Black Canadians form the third-largest visible minority group in Canada, after South Asian and Chinese Canadians.[18]
