Hmar people are a scheduled tribe ethnic group from the states of Manipur, Mizoram, Assam, and Meghalaya in Northeast India. They use the Hmar language as their primary language. In 2023, the Hmar Inpui, an apex body of the tribe 'reaffirmed' the identity of the Hmar people as Mizo.

According to the 2011 Indian Census, there were 98,988 Hmar speakers (as first language). The Hmar population itself (including Hmar people who speak Mizo language as their first language) roughly stands at 200,000–300,000. Several critics and scholars point out that a significant population of the Hmar people are fully 'Mizonised' in Mizoram, hence do not reflect as "Hmar tribe" population, rather as "Any Mizo tribes" in census reports.

Hmar people use the Hmar language, which closely resembles the Mizo language and uses the Roman script. The script was introduced by British missionaries, including 'Pu Buanga' (James Herbert Lorrain), during the colonial era in India and is locally known as the 'A Aw B.' Hmar language is within the Tibeto-Burman stock of languages.

The majority of the Hmar people practice Christianity. They were Christianized by Welsh missionaries in the 1910s (specifically at Senvawn village). Animism was dominated among them.

The Hmar people believe Sinlung to be their ancestral origin.
