Population transfer is the coerced movement of a large group of people, typically defined by ethnicity or religion, out of a region, often imposed by state policy or an international authority. Though such transfers were once accepted as a means of settling ethnic conflict, they are now treated under international law as violations, since the affected population is frequently moved by force into a distant region unsuited to its way of life and suffers substantial harm as a result. The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court formally classifies deportation or forcible transfer of population as a crime against humanity.

Population transfer or resettlement is a type of mass migration that is often imposed by a state policy or international authority. Such mass migrations are most frequently spurred on the basis of ethnicity or religion, but they also occur due to economic development. Banishment or exile is a similar process, but is forcibly applied to individuals and groups. Population transfer differs more than simply technically from individually motivated migration, but at times of war, the act of fleeing from danger or famine often blurs the differences.
