Cuban Uruguayans are people born in Cuba who live in Uruguay.

There are some Cuban-born persons living in Uruguay, for a number of reasons. Both countries share the Spanish language; their historical origins are common (part of the Viceroyalty of the River Plate, Spanish Empire). Uruguay is a very small, quiet country, where Cuban exiles have looked for a new opportunity, as part of a big inflow of Latin Americans coming to Uruguay.[1]

The 2011 Uruguayan census did not reveal Cubans, although there are over 1,000 people declaring the Caribbean as their region of birth.[2] As of 2013, there are just 6 Cubans registered in the Uruguayan social security.[3] There is a remarkable presence of Cuban ophthalmologists working for the Uruguayan national health system.[4]

Cubans residing in Uruguay run their own association since 1989.[5]
