White Haitians or European Haitians are Haitians whose ancestry lies within the continent of Europe.

White Haitians are descendants of 20th century immigrants. Most French colonists died or fled Saint-Domingue during the Haitian Revolution and the surviving remainder were annihilated in the 1804 Haiti Massacre. Prior the United States occupation of Haiti, Haitian citizenship and the purchase of land or any property was vetoed to white people.

As of 2013, people of solely European descent are a small minority in Haiti. The combined population of whites and mulattoes constitutes 5% of the population, roughly half a million people.^[2] Note that people born to foreigners on Haitian soil are not automatically Haitian citizens due to the jus sanguinis (from Latin, meaning "right of blood") principle of nationality law.
