White Jamaicans or European Jamaicans are Jamaicans whose ancestry lies within the continent of Europe, most notably England, Ireland, Scotland and Spain.[1][not in citation given][2]

As of 2013, people of solely European descent are a small minority in Jamaica making up only 0.2% of the population. Mixed race people, who are predominantly of African and European ancestry, constitute an additional 7.3% of the population.[3]
