A native-born citizen of a country is a person who is legally recognized as that country's citizen at the moment of birth and was also born within that country.

A person can be considered to be a "citizen-at-birth" either due to place of birth within that country's territorial jurisdiction (jus soli) or through descent from a citizen of that country (jus sanguinis), or through some combination of those two elements. A person who is a "citizen-at-birth" and was also born within that country would be additionally considered a "native-born citizen".

It should be noted that a person that inherited citizenship through an ancestor but was born outside the country of citizenship would be considered a "citizen-at-birth" (rather than a naturalized citizen) but would not be considered a "native-born citizen". Furthermore, a person who was born in a country that did not recognize him as its citizen at birth but later naturalized as its citizen would also not be considered a "native-born citizen".

In many countries (including Japan), a native-born individual may not be a citizen. Sadaharu Oh is not a Japanese citizen despite being born in Japan and having a Japanese mother.
