Haplogroup W is a (mtDNA) haplogroup.

Haplogroup W is believed to have originated around 23,900 years ago in Western Asia. It is descended from the haplogroup N2.

Haplogroup W is found in Europe, West Asia and South Asia. It is widely distributed at low frequencies, with a high concentration in Northern Pakistan.

Haplogroup W is also found in the Maghreb among Algerians (1.08%-3.23%).

This phylogenetic tree of haplogroup W subclades is based on the paper by Mannis van Oven and Manfred Kayser Updated comprehensive phylogenetic tree of global human mitochondrial DNA variation and subsequent published research.
