Friulians, also called Friulans or Furlans (Friulian: Furlans, Italian: Friulani), are an ethnolinguistic minority living primarily in Italy, with a significant diaspora community.

Friulians primarily inhabit the region of Friuli and speak the Rhaeto-Romantic language Friulian, which is closely related to Ladin, spoken primarily in South Tyrol/Alto Adige, and Romansh, native to the Canton of Grisons in Switzerland.
