Hrvati su južnoslavenski narod nastanjen u Hrvatskoj, Bosni i Hercegovini te njima susjednim državama.
Prema nekim procjenama broji oko 8–9 miliona pripadnika. Postoji značajna hrvatska dijaspora u zapadnoj Evropi, obje Amerike, Australiji i Novom Zelandu.
Hrvati govore hrvatskim jezikom, a religija je većinom katolička.
