Serbs (/sɜːb/; Serbian: Срби, Srbi, pronounced [sr̩̂bi]), also known as Serbians, are a South Slavic ethnic group and nation who share a common Serbian ancestry, culture, history, and language. They live primarily in their nation-state of Serbia, and in neighboring Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Croatia, and Kosovo, with smaller communities in North Macedonia, Romania, and Hungary, while also constituting a significant diaspora with communities across Europe, the Americas, and Oceania.

Serbs are predominantly Eastern Orthodox Christians, traditionally affiliated with the Serbian Orthodox Church, and speak the Serbian language, which is official in Serbia, co-official in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo, and the most widely spoken language in Montenegro.
