American Haitians (French: Américain Haïtien; Haitian Creole: Ameriken Ayisyen) comprise the descendants of free blacks from the United States to Haiti in the early 19th century as well as recent immigrants and expatriates as well as their locally born descendants. At the time of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, there were about 45,000 US citizens living in Haiti.
