Ethiopian Refugees in Sudan are Refugees from Ethiopia who live in Sudan as refugees due to the 2 year Civil War in Tigray or other conflicts in Ethiopia.

Estimates on the number of Ethiopian refugees in Sudan ranges anywhere from 45,000 to 73,000. In 2017 there were 47,000 Ethiopian refugees in Sudan. By 2021 that number had increased to 73,000. The increase in number of Ethiopian refugees crossing into Sudan in 2020 to flee conflict in the Tigray region, has worsened the refugee context in Sudan with response to it's own refugee crisis which unfolded in Darfur during the Covid-19 pandemic and the Ethiopian refugee crisis has put serious strain on the country's economic stability and health resources. There are two main refugee camps in Sudan where the majority of Ethiopian refugees are being settled in, Umm Rakuba camp and El Tuneidiba camp. Both camps are located in the Gedaref region in Sudan's eastern region along the border with Ethiopia. The largest refugee camp Umm Rakuba has anywhere between 10,000 and 20,000 Ethiopian refugees.

The United Nations called the crossing of Ethiopian refugees into Sudan 'unseen' and that it warned a full scale humanitarian crisis could erupt in the region. By November 10, women, children and men had been crossing the border at a rate of 4,000 per day. In early November 2020, 27,000 Ethiopian refugees crossed into Sudan through the Hamdayet border in Kassala, as well as a new location at Aderafi south of Kassala where Ethiopian refugees started crossing the border over the weekend.

At the end of 2020 $40 million US dollars had been pledged by UNHCR to help respond to the emergency in Ethiopia's Tigray Region, which only covers 37 per cent of financial requirements in Sudan, Ethiopia, and Djibouti.
