Albanians in New Zealand comprise of ethnic Albanians from neighbouring Australia, Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia as well as Croatia, Turkey, Italy and Greece. During the Yugoslav Wars, up to 400 Kosovo Albanians settled in New Zealand as refugees. Many Albanians settled during the 19th century as a consequence of a wave of migration from southern Europe, many of these settlers are only partially Albanian and have long assimilated in New Zealand culture. Most Albanians in New Zealand self-identify as New Zealanders and declare themselves as such on population censuses.
