Dominican Americans (Spanish: domínico-americanos,^[4] estadounidenses dominicanos) are Americans who trace their ancestry to the Dominican Republic. The word may refer to someone born in the United States of Dominican descent or to someone who has migrated to the United States from the Dominican Republic. As of 2021, there were approximately 2.4 million people of Dominican descent in the United States, including both native and foreign-born.^[1] They are the second largest Hispanic group in the Northeastern region of the United States after Puerto Ricans, and the fifth-largest Hispanic/Latino group nationwide.

The first Dominican to migrate into what is now known as the United States was sailor-turned-merchant Juan Rodríguez who arrived on Manhattan in 1613 from his home in Santo Domingo.^[5] Thousands of Dominicans also passed through the gates of Ellis Island in the 19th and early 20th centuries.^[6] The most recent movement of emigration to the United States began in the 1960s, after the fall of the dictatorial Trujillo regime.
