Haplogroup L may refer to:
*
Haplogroup L (Y-DNA)
Haplogroup L-M20 is a human Y-DNA haplogroup, which is defined by SNPs M11, M20, M61 and M185. As a secondary descendant of haplogroup K and a primary branch of haplogroup LT, haplogroup L currently has the alternative phylogenetic name of K ...
, a human Y-chromosome (Y-DNA) haplogroup
*
Macro-haplogroup L (mtDNA), a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) macrohaplogroup that is at the root of the human mitochondrial phylogenetic tree. Its subclades are:
**
Haplogroup L0, a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup
**
Haplogroup L1 (mtDNA)
Haplogroup L1 is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup. It is most common in Central Africa and West Africa.
It diverged from L1-6 at about 140,000 years ago ( 95% CI).
Its emergence is associated with the early peopling of Africa by ana ...

**
Haplogroup L2 (mtDNA)
Haplogroup L2 is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup with a widespread modern distribution, particularly in Sub equatorial Africa. Its L2a subclade is a somewhat frequent and widely distributed mtDNA cluster on the continent, as well as ...
, a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup
**
Haplogroup L3 (mtDNA)
Haplogroup L3 is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup. The clade has played a pivotal role in the early dispersal of anatomically modern humans.
It is strongly associated with the out-of-Africa migration of modern humans of about 70– ...

Haplogroup L4 (mtDNA)
Haplogroup L4 is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup. It is a small maternal clade primarily restricted to Africa.
L4 is important in East Africa. The highest frequencies are in Tanzania

Haplogroup L5 (mtDNA)
Haplogroup L5 is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) clade. It was previously known as L1e.
Distribution
L5 is a small haplogroup centered in East Africa. The highest frequency is in Mbuti Pygmies from Eastern Central Africa at 15%.
It is prese ...

Haplogroup L6 (mtDNA)
In human mitochondrial genetics, Haplogroup L6 is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup. It is a small African haplogroup.
Distribution
This haplogroup has been found most often in Yemen and Ethiopia.

Haplogroup L4a (mtDNA)
A haplotype is a group of alleles in an organism that are inherited together from a single parent, and a haplogroup ( haploid from the el, ἁπλοῦς, ''haploûs'', "onefold, simple" and en, group) is a group of similar haplotypes that shar ...
