The following is a list of contemporary ethnic groups.
There has been constant debate over the classification of ethnic groups.

By the nature of the concept, ethnic groups tend to be divided into ethnic subgroups, which may themselves be or not be identified as independent ethnic groups depending on the source consulted.
