List of sovereign states by refugee population

This article provides a list of data to show the total number of refugees that are hosted in each sovereign state in the world. The United Nations defines a refugee as any person who is "forced to flee their own country and seek safety in another country. They are unable to return to their own country because of feared persecution as a result of who they are, what they believe in or say, or because of armed conflict, violence or serious public disorder."

Accommodations for refugees vary by country and situation. Some may be kept in refugee camps, some are urban refugees in individual residences, some stay in self-settled camps, and the location of some refugees is undefined or unknown by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

By destination country of asylum

The below table is based on UNHCR data and does not include data for people of concern to the UNRWA or those not known to the UNHCR. These people have fled their country/territory of origin and registered with the UNHCR in these countries or territories.
