Amerikanere er statsborgere i USA.^[1] Landet er hjemsted for folkeslag af mange forskellige nationale oprindelser. Som et resultat deraf ligestiller amerikanerne ikke deres nationalitet med etnicitet, men med statsborgerskab og loyalitet.^[1] Tiltrods for at statsborgerne udgør størstedelen af amerikanerne, så kan indbyggere uden statsborgerskab, dobbelte statsborgere og udlændinge også hævde at de har en amerikansk identitet.^[2]

Brugen af udtrykket "American" i det engelske sprog, i den sammenhæng, hvor det udelukkende betyder folk fra USA, er udviklet fra dets oprindelige betydning, hvor det blev benyttet til at adskille englændere fra folk fra de britiske kolonier i Amerika^[3] på trods af dets flertydige sproglige betydning. Ordet amerikaner kan også være en generel betegnelse for folk i Amerika.^[4] Se navne for amerikanske statsborgere.

Der er omtrent 320 mio. amerikanere.^[5]

Beboelse

Amerika blev først opdaget den 12. oktober 1492 af Christopher Columbus. Han satte aldrig fod i Nord Amerika, som var beboet af indfødte amerikanere. Indfødte amerikanere var indianere. Ordet indianere er kommer fra Christopher Columbus, som troede han var i Indien, og derfor kaldte han dem indianere.

Med årene er indianerne blevet færre, og Amerika er blevet beboet af folk fra andre lande. Det er derfor der er så mange forskellige traditionere i Amerika, fordi der er så mange mennesker med forskellige kulturelle baggrunde
