Javanese New Caledonians are an ethnic group of full or partial Javanese descent in New Caledonia. They have been present since between 1896 and 1949.[1] They were sent as plantation workers administered by the Dutch colonial government in New Caledonia.[2]

They form less than 1.6% of New Caledonia's population.[3] New Caledonia is home to a Javanese diaspora, besides Suriname, Malaysia and Singapore.

Most Javanese New Caledonians cannot speak Indonesian but are fluent in New Caledonian Javanese.[1] [4]
