The Portuguese people are the ethnic group or nation native to the country of Portugal, in the Iberian peninsula of southwest Europe. Portuguese is their native language and Roman Catholicism is their predominant religion.

The Portuguese are a southern European population. Their ethnic origin is mainly a mixture of pre-Roman Celtic and Iberian tribes (called Celtiberians, such as the Lusitanians, the Calaicians or Gallaeci and the Cynetes or Conii, amongst other minor local tribes such as the Bracari, Celtici, Coelerni, Equaesi, Grovii, Interamici, Leuni, Luanqui, Limici, Narbasi, Nemetati, Paesuri, Quaquerni, Seurbi, Tamagani, Tapoli, Turduli, Turduli Veteres, Turdulorum Oppida, Turodi and Zoelae).

Other important influences were the Romans (the Portuguese language derives from Latin; one can consider that the Romans were the most important cultural influence), the Visigoths and the Suevi (Quadi and Marcomanni) , all of whom settled in what is today Portuguese territory.

Minor influences were the Greeks and the Phoenicians-Carthaginians (small semi-permanent commercial coastal establishments), the Vandals (Silingi and Hasdingi) and the sarmatian Alans (both expelled or partially integrated by the Visigoths and Suevi), and the Moors (mainly the Berber with some Arab, expelled or converted to Catholicism after the Christian reconquest or Reconquista).
