'''Negritos''' (Spanish: "little black persons") are several ethnic groups who inhabit isolated parts of [[Southeast Asia]]. Their current populations include Andamanese peoples of the [[Andaman Islands]], Semang peoples of [[Malaysia]], the Mani of [[Thailand]], and over 30 other peoples of the [[Philippines]].

The Negrito peoples show some physical similarities with the African [[Pygmies]], including short stature and dark skin, but are genetically closer to other Southeast Asian populations.

Their ancestry/ancestries have been extensively debated, may vary for different Negrito groups (such as due to interbreeding with different neighboring groups), and may to varying degrees have similarities with [[Australoid]] ancestry.

One possibility is that Australoids and (partially mixed) Negritos are remnants of an ancestral population, or several related ancestral populations, who previously inhabited a much larger area, but who have been displaced by other groups in most areas. See also the article on [[Castes]].

Their short stature may also be related to [[insular dwarfism]], the tendency to reduction in size of large animals over a number of generations when their population's range is limited to a small environment, primarily islands. See also ''[[Homo floresiensis]]''.
