Asian Caribbean people are Caribbean people who trace their full or a partial ancestry to Asia. The majority of the modern Asian Caribbean populations were the result of indentured labourers that were brought to the colonial Caribbean after the abolition of slavery to work in mines, sugar plantations, etc. as replacements of African slaves.

People of Asian Caribbean descent are mainly South Asian and East Asian and additionally may be of other origins including South East Asian and West Asian.

Besides the colonial languages, some Asian Caribbean people where able to preserve their languages. The Asian Caribbean diaspora is also spread throughout western countries such as Canada, The Netherlands, The United Kingdom and The United States. Asian Caribbeans don't have a predominant religion and are mainly divided between religions such as Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism and Christianity.
