Anglai – tauta, susiformavusi dabartinės Anglijos teritorijoje, kalbanti anglų kalba. Anglų tauta susiformavo ankstyvaisiais viduramžiais, kai senąja anglų kalba buvo vadinama Anglecynn. Dabar Anglija yra Didžiosios Britanijos dalis ir dauguma anglų turi britų pilietybę. Anglų pavadinimas atsirado iš germanų anglų genties, kuri į Angliją atvyko iš Šiaurės Vokietijos.

Istoriškai anglai kilo iš senųjų britų, germanų genčių, kurios apsigyveno Anglijoje (anglų, jutų, saksų) ir buvo vadinamos anglosaksais ir vėliau danų bei normanų. Po Unijos akto 1707 m., patvirtinusio Didžiosios Britanijos įkūrimą, anglai pradėti tapatinti su britais.

Daugiausiai anglų gyvena Didžiojoje Britanijoje (45,4 mln.). Taip pat anglų imigrantai ir jų palikuonys gyvena Australijoje, Indijoje, JAV, Kanadoje, Naujojoje Zelandijoje, PAR bei kitose Didžiosios Britanijos buvusiose kolonijose.

↑ The CIA World Factbook Archyvuota kopija 2006-09-22 iš Wayback Machine projekto. reports that in the 2001 UK census 92.1% of the UK population were in the White ethnic group, and that 83.6% of this group are in the English ethnic group. The UK Office for National Statistics reports a total population in the UK census of 58,789,194. A quick calculation shows this is equivalent to 45,265,093 people in the English ethnic group. However, this number may not represent a self-defined ethnic group, these data do not take into account non-white people who would also identify as ethnically English. The number who described their ethnic group as English in the 2001 UK census has not been published by the Office for National Statistics.
