Sansei(三世, "Generasi ketiga") adalah sebuah istilah Jepang dan Inggris Amerika Utara[1] yang dipakai di sebagian belahan dunia seperti Amerika Selatan dan Amerika Utara untuk menyebut anak dari anak yang lahir dari etnis Jepang di sebuah negara kediaman yang baru. Nisei dianggap merupakan generasi kedua, cucu dari imigran kelahiran Jepang yang disebut Sansei dan generasi keempat yonsei.[2] Anak dari setidaknya satu orang tua nisei disebut Sansei. Sansei biasanya adalah generasi pertama dimana sebagian besar orangnya adalah ras belasteran, karena orang tua mereka biasanya lahir dan dibesarkan di Amerika sendiri.[3]
Karakter dan keunikan sansei diakui dalam sejarah sosialnya.[4]
