Algerian Americans (Arabic: أمريكيون جزائريون) are Americans who are of Algerian descent or Algerians who have American citizenship. According to the 2020 United States census, there are over 38,000 Americans of Algerian descent.^[1]

Algerian communities are established in major cities such as New York, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and Chicago. Algerians in Chicago commemorate the anniversary of the start of the war between Algeria and France that led to their country's independence every November 1.^[2]
