Assyrians in Mexico (Syriac: ܣܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܡܟܣܝܩܘ, Spanish: Asirios en México), or Mexican Assyrians, are Assyrian people or people of Assyrian descent living in Mexico. Most of the Assyrian immigrants who arrived in the country were Chaldean Catholic, as they fled from religious persecution and ethnic persecution in their historical homeland in modern-day Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Iran.
