The Grebo or Glebo people are an ethnic group or subgroup within the larger Kru group of Africa, a language and cultural ethnicity, and to certain of its constituent elements. Within Liberia members of this group are found primarily in Maryland County and Grand Kru County in the southeastern portion of the country, but also in River Gee County and Sinoe County. The Grebo population in Côte d'Ivoire are known as the Krumen and are found in the southwestern corner of that country.

A 2001 estimate of the number of Grebo people in Liberia is approximately 387,000.^[1] There are an estimated 48,300 Grebo in Côte d'Ivoire, not counting refugees.^[2] Precise numbers are lacking, since many have been displaced by the civil war in Liberia of the late 20th and early 21st century.
