Samer (äldre benämning även lappar, vilket ofta uppfattas som nedsättande) är en etnisk minoritet i Norge, Sverige och Finland och på Kolahalvön i Ryssland. Det område som samer bebor brukar benämnas Sápmi (ibland Sameland). Samerna i Sverige har sedan 1993 en egen statlig institution med folkvalda (se Sametinget). ILO har förklarat samer som ursprungsbefolkning.

Their ancestral lands span across an area the size of Sweden in the Nordic countries. The Sami are one of the largest indigenous groups in Europe. Their languages are the Sami languages, which are classified as Finno-Ugric.

This is the mother lode of online databases for genealogy research in Norway.
