爱尔兰人,狭义上指爱尔兰共和国的公民,广义上来讲是自古居住在爱尔兰岛上的人们。广义的爱尔兰人属于地中海人种(凯尔特人),爱尔兰岛分为两部分,南部是爱尔兰共和国,北部是北爱尔兰,由英国统治。但无论南北,都属于广义的爱尔兰人。
爱尔兰人(Irish: Muintir na hÉireann or na hÉireannaigh; Ulster-Scots: Airisch or Airish fowk)是欧洲西北部的爱尔兰岛的一个种族。爱尔兰岛有人居住的历史达9000年(根据考古学研究,详见史前爱尔兰)。
关于爱尔兰人的祖先,传说中他们是 Nemedians族、佛摩尔族、伯克族、 Tuatha Dé Danann族和米利都人中一族的后人。一本爱尔兰神学书Lebor Gabála Érenn说Tuatha Dé Dananns是Scythian 人的后代。
与爱尔兰主族的相互影响的有皮克特人、苏格兰人和维京人。归功于这中影响,冰岛人也以有爱尔兰血统而著称。

- ^ The 2006 Australian Census (页面存档备份,存于互联网档案馆) reports 1.9 million people of Irish ancestry in the 2001 Census. Up to two ancestries could be chosen. Recent increases in the number who identify as Australian suggest that this number is an underestimate of the true number with Irish ancestry. With that being said, the number claiming Irish ancestry from the previous census actually more than doubled. One reason, an improved image of what it means to be Irish according to the census experts, making Australians more proud to state their Irish ancestry. Also the Australian Embassy in Dublin states that up to 30 percent of Australians have some degree of Irish ancestry.[1] (页面存档备份,存于互联网档案馆).
