A Basque Colombian (Spanish:Vasco-Colombiano, Basque:Eusko-Kolonbiar) is a person or resident born in Colombia of Basque descent. The term "Basque" may refer to ethnic Basques who immigrated to Colombia from the Basque Country. In genetic studies tracking the Iberian Y-chromosome haplogroup R1b-DF27 across Latin America, Colombia was found to have the highest concentration of this Basque-associated genetic marker in Latin America..

The presence of Basque ancestry in the Paisa Region is exhibited by the proliferation of Basque surnames. Some scholars point out that this may be one of the regions of South America with the greatest concentration of ancestry from the Iberian region.
