Yugoslav Americans are Americans of full or partial Yugoslav ancestry. In the 2021 Community Surveys, there were 210,395 people who indicated Yugoslav or Yugoslav American as their ethnic origin;[1] a steep and steady decrease from previous censuses (233,325 in 2019;[2] 276,360 in 2016[3]) and nearly a 36% decrease from the 2000 Census when there were over 328,000.[4]

The total number of Americans whose origins lie in former Yugoslavia is unknown due to conflicting definitions and identifications; in descending order these were as per 2021 American Community Survey:
