Arab diaspora (Arabic: الشتات العربي, romanizedash-shatāt al-ʿarabī) refers to the dispersion of Arabs who live outside of the Arab world. It can refer to descendants of the Arab emigrants who, voluntarily or forcibly, migrated from their native lands to non-Arab countries, primarily in the Americas, Europe, Southeast Asia, and West Africa.

Immigrants from Arab countries, such as Lebanon, Syria and Palestine, also form significant diasporas in other Arab states – see Palestinian refugees and refugees of the Syrian civil war.
