The Albanians in South America (Albanian: Shqiptarët në Ameriken e Jugut, Italian: Albanesi in Sud America, Spanish: Albaneses en América del Sur, Portuguese: Albaneses na América do Sul) are people of Albanian ancestry and heritage in such South America states as Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. They trace their ancestry to the territories with a large Albanian population in Italy; as for the result, many Albanians in South America tend to also identify themselves with the larger Italian community in South America.
