The Han Chinese, Han people or simply Han (; ; Han characters: 漢人 (Mandarin pinyin: "Hànrén"; literally "Han people") or 漢族 (pinyin: "Hànzú"; literally "Han ethnicity" or "Han ethnic group")) are an East Asian ethnic group. They constitute approximately 92% of the population of China, 95% of Taiwan (Han Taiwanese), 76% of Singapore, 23% of Malaysia and about 17% of the global population, making them the world's largest ethnic group with over 1.3 billion people. 

The name "Han" was derived from the Han dynasty, which succeeded the short-lived Qin dynasty, and is historically considered to be the first golden age of China's Imperial era due to the power and influence it projected over much of Asia. As a result of the dynasty's prominence in inter-ethnic and pre-modern international matters, many Chinese began identifying themselves as the "people of Han" (), a name that has been carried down to this day. Similarly, the Chinese language also came to be named the "Han language" () ever since. In the "Oxford Dictionary", the Han are defined as "The dominant ethnic group in China". In the "Encyclopedia of the Peoples of Asia and Oceania", the Han are called the dominant population in "China, as well as in Taiwan and Singapore." According to the "Merriam-Webster Dictionary", the Han are "the Chinese peoples especially as distinguished from non-Chinese (such as Mongolian) elements in the population."
