European Tunisians or White Tunisians are Tunisians whose ancestry lies within the continent of Europe, most notably France, Italy, Malta and Turkey.

Prior to independence, there were 255,000 Europeans in Tunisia in 1956.[2] While in 1926, there were 90,000 Italians in Tunisia, compared to 70,000 Frenchmen (unusual since Tunisia was a French protectorate) and 8,396 Maltese.[3]

Today European Tunisians are a small minority group in Tunisia, accounting for only 1% of the country's population.[1] In religion, most are Roman Catholic Christians.
