Burmese Australians are Australian citizens or permanent residents who carry full or partial ancestry from Burma, also known as Myanmar, a country located in Southeast Asia. The dominant ethnic group of Burma is the Bamar people but there are also numerous Burmese ethnic minorities. Like Burma, Australia was also historically a British colony, though Australia's indigenous population has largely been replaced by Anglo-Celtic Australians and other settler groups, whereas Anglo-Burmese people constitute a minority of Burma's native population.
