An Ecuadorian American is any person in the United States who is of Ecuadorian ancestry.

Many Ecuadorian Americans left Ecuador because of the economic crisis that the country faces and their corrupt political machine.  Many Ecuadorians in the United States have settled in cities such as New York City (most residing in Jackson Heights, Brooklyn, The Bronx); Ossining, New York; Hudson, New York; Danbury, Connecticut; Jersey City, New Jersey; Union City, New Jersey; Newark, New Jersey; Plainfield, New Jersey; Chicago, Illinois; Orlando, Florida; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Miami, Florida; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Los Angeles, California.
