TheOceanian diaspora is the group of people living outside ofOceania whose ancestors migrated from Oceania. The term can also refer to groups who have migrated between the islands of Oceania.

In ancient times, the many islands of Oceania maintained contact with one another through sailing networks.^[1][2] During the colonial era, this intermigration reduced, as colonisers needed Oceanian populations for labour purposes.^[3] In the modern era, the diaspora has largely drifted towards the industrialised nations of the Pacific (such asAustralia andNew Zealand), though maintaining its cultural and family ties with its ancestral homelands.^[1][2][4]

The Oceanian diaspora's migration has been induced partly byclimate change-related issues that are playing out on various islands, and it has played a significant role in advocating for policies to address climate change.^[5][6]
