The term Afro European often refers to people who come from regions that are geographically south of Sahara, or former colonies.

The concept of "Afro-Europeans" is used on the model of African Americans by associations and movements militating in favor of equal opportunities for black and mixed-race people from overseas territories and Europe.

In the European Union there is a record of 12 million people of African or Afro-Caribbean descent. The countries with the largest African population in Europe are:

France: 3,000,000 (800,000 are from or descended from the French Caribbean islands)

United Kingdom: 2,500,000 (half are from or descendants of Caribbean islands that were formerly British colonies)

Netherlands: 700,000 (most are from the former Dutch possession Suriname and the Netherlands Antilles, but communities of Cape Verde and Africa are also found)

Belgium: 700,000

Spain: 683,000 (most are from Equatorial Guinea and Latin American countries)

Germany: 500,000

Italy: 337,000 [1]

Portugal 150,000 [2]

Sweden: 150,000

Russia: 70,000 [3]
