Lebanese people in Greece (Greek: Λιβανέζοι στην Ελλάδα, Arabic: يوناني لبناني) include immigrants and descendants of immigrants from Lebanon, numbering approximately 30,000 people of Lebanese descent. Migration from Lebanon to Greece started after 1975 during the Lebanese Civil War. Most Lebanese came from Koura District in North Lebanon, which is mostly a Greek Orthodox area. During the civil war the number of Lebanese was higher, however after the end of the war many returned to Lebanon.
