For the writer, see John Fante.
The Fante are an ethnic group from southern Ghana with some also in the Côte d'Ivoire. Currently they number about 500,000. During the eighteenth century they formed the Fante Confederacy. They were allied with the British during the Ashanti War (1873-1874). Fante can also refer to the Fante language.
The Catholic prelate Peter Kodwo Appiah Cardinal Turkson is perhaps the most prominent Fante of the world.
Secretary General of UN Kofi Annan has Fante descent.
