Black Canadians (French: Canadiens Noirs), also known as Afro-Canadians (French: Afro-Canadiens), are Canadians of African or Afro-Caribbean descent.[3][4][5][6] The majority of Black Canadians are of Afro-Caribbean and African origin, though the Black Canadian population also consists of African Americans in Canada and their descendants (including Black Nova Scotians).[7]

Black Canadians have contributed to many areas of Canadian culture.[8] 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.[9] Black Canadians form the third-largest visible minority group in Canada, after South Asian and Chinese Canadians.[10]
