Orange County is a county in Southern California, United States. Its county seat is Santa Ana. Its population of 3,056,865 (2005 estimate ) is larger than that of 20 states. It is the second most populous county in the state of California, and the fifth most populous in the United States. The county is known for its wealth and political conservatism, although it is in reality neither as uniformly wealthy nor as homogeneously conservative as its stereotypical image suggests.

It is also famous as a tourist destination, as the county is home to such attractions as Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm, as well as sandy beaches for swimming and surfing, yacht harbors for sailing and pleasure boating, and extensive acreage devoted to parks and open space for golf, tennis, hiking, kayaking, cycling, and other . It is at the center of Southern California's Tech Coast.

Thirty-four incorporated cities are located in Orange County; the newest is Aliso Viejo, which is also the only city in the county to incorporate since 2000.

As of the census of 2000, there were 2,846,289 people, 935,287 households, and 667,794 families residing in the county, making Orange County the second most populous county in California. The population density was 3,606/mi². There were 969,484 housing units at an average density of 1,228/mi².

In 1990, still according to the census there were 2,410,556 people residing in the county. The racial makeup of the county was 64.49% White, not of Hispanic origins, 23.43% Hispanic or Latino, 9.99% Asian, 1.62% African American, 0.36% Native American, and 0.11% of some other race.

The county's diverse racial makeup is under scrutiny and varied estimates by local minority group organizations, like the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) charged the US census undercounted Orange County's small but fast-growing black population. Similar charges came from the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) and Asian-American leaders on the percentage of Latinos and Asians in the county is inaccurate, unless there are accidental undercounts or their growth rate is phenomenal to keep up their accuracy.
