The Egyptian Greeks, also known as Egyptiotes (Greek: Αιγυπτιώτες, romanized: Aigyptiótes) or simply Greeks in Egypt (Greek: Έλληνες της Αιγύπτου, romanized: Éllines tis Aigýptou), are the ethnic Greek community from Egypt that has existed from the Hellenistic period until the aftermath of the Egyptian coup d'état of 1952, when most were forced to leave.
