White Bermudians or Bermudians of European descent are Bermudians whose ancestry lies within the continent of Europe, most notably the United Kingdom, Ireland and Portugal. Initially, the White population of Bermuda made up the majority of the island who came to the island as indentured servants. This remained the case until Black Slaves were taken to the island, Free Blacks began to migrate to the island during the 17th century. Many Scots and Irish were also brought to the island as white slaves and made up large pockets of the population. In the 19th century the Black population surpassed the white majority. Black Bermudian remains the islands largest ethnic group. A number of European Bermudians are foreign-born nationals, many are from the United States and Canada - due to its close proximity to the island - as well as the United Kingdom (this may be because the island is a British Overseas Territory).

Currently, European Bermudians are a minority ethnic group in Bermuda, accounting for 31% of the territory's population.^[1]
