Mestizo Venezuelans are Venezuelan people who are the result of a mixture of European, Amerindian and African ancestry.

Mestizos in Venezuela amount to 51.6% of the country's population.

According to an autosomal DNA genetic study conducted in 2008 by the University of Brasília (UNB), the composition of Venezuela's gene pool is 60.60% of European contribution, 23% of indigenous contribution, and 16.30% of African contribution.
