The Zaramo people, also referred to as Dzalamo or Saramo, are an East African ethnic group found along the coast of Tanzania, particularly in its Pwani Region.

They are the largest ethnic group in and around Dar es Salaam, the capital of Tanzania.

Estimated to be about seven hundred thousand, over ninety-eight percent of them are Muslims, more specifically the Shafi'i school of Sunni Islam.

Their original language is the Zaramo language, a Bantu language belonging to the Niger-Congo family of languages.

However, in contemporary Tanzania, only a few speak it, and most now speak another Bantu language namely Swahili language as their first language, nd have adopted Swahili-Arabic names.

The term Zaramo, in scholarly studies, also reflects a macro-ethnic group

The larger Zaramo group consists of Zaramo proper but, however includes a number of related peoples such as the Kaguru, Kwere, Kutu, Kami, Sagara, Luguru, Ngulu and Vidunda peoples.
