Aborigines (adjective: aboriginal) are in general peoples who are native to a land, or with some identified pre-existing or prior association to a land (see indigenous peoples). Other similar descriptions include native peoples, first peoples, first nations and autochthonous.

Peoples commonly (but perhaps not neutrally) referred to as Aborigine (by English speakers) notably include:

• Aboriginal peoples of Canada
• Taiwanese aborigines: East Asia
• Australian Aborigines:

A further list and description of these and other aboriginal or indigenous peoples over and above those listed here, as well as discussion on some common themes, can be determined at Indigenous Peoples; however, these groups may not commonly be referred to specifically as "Aborigines" by English speakers.
