The Algerian diaspora ({{Langx|ar|الجالية الجزائرية}}) comprises the population of Algerian origin or nationality living outside the country, mainly in France but also in the rest of the world. It is largely the result of the high rate of emigration that Algeria has experienced since the end of World War II in 1945, and the freedom granted by the French colonial administration to Algerians to settle in metropolitan France starting from 1947. They are the largest foreign national group represented in France.

During the 1960s and 1970s, the favorable economic situation in France further amplified the phenomenon.
