White Africans (or less commonly European Africans or Euro Africans in a similar style to terms such as African American or French Canadian) are people of European descent residing in, or hailing from, Africa who identify themselves as white.

In 1989, there were an estimated 4.6 million Africans of European ancestry on the continent. Most are of Dutch, British, Portuguese, German, French, and to a lesser extent, Italian, Spanish, Greek, Ashkenazi Jewish, or Irish descent. The majority once lived along the Mediterranean coast, in South Africa, or in Zimbabwe.

The earliest permanent European communities in sub-Saharan Africa were formed at the Cape of Good Hope;Luanda, in Angola, São Tomé Island; and Santiago, Cape Verde through the introduction of Portuguese and Dutch traders or military personnel. Other groups of settlers appeared when France and Great Britain colonized Africa. Before regional decolonization, white Africans may have numbered up to 6 million persons and were represented in every part of the continent, particularly South Africa, South-West Africa, Algeria, Angola, Kenya, and Southern Rhodesia.
