Afro-Latin Americans (French: Afro-latino-américains; Haitian Creole: Afro-amerik-Latino; Spanish: Afrolatinoamericanos; Portuguese: Afro-latino-americanos), also known as Black Latin Americans[30] (French: Latino-américains noirs; Haitian Creole: Nwa Ameriken Latin; Spanish: Latinoamericanos negros; Portuguese: Negros latino-americanos),[a][34] are Latin Americans of total or predominantly sub-Saharan African ancestry. Genetic studies suggest most Latin American populations have at least some level of African admixture.[35][36][37]

The term Afro-Latin American is not widely used in Latin America outside academic circles. Normally Afro–Latin Americans are called Black (Spanish: negro or moreno; Portuguese: negro or preto;[38] French: noir or nègre; Haitian Creole: nwa or nègès). Latin Americans of African ancestry may also be grouped by their specific nationality,[39]: 3–4  such as Afro-Brazilian,[40] Afro-Cuban,[41] Afro-Haitian,[41] or Afro-Mexican.

The number of Afro–Latin Americans may be underreported in official statistics, especially when derived from self-reported census data, because of negative attitudes to African ancestry in some countries.[40][34] Afro-Latinos are part of the wider African diaspora.
