Sacatra was a term used in the French Colony of Saint-Domingue to describe the descendant of one black and one griffe parent,[1] a person whose ancestry is 78ths black and 18th white. It was one of the many terms used in the colony's racial caste system to measure one's black blood.[2]

The etymology of sacatra is uncertain; Félix Rodríguez González linked it to the Spanish sacar ("take out") and atrás ("behind");[3] thus, a sacatra is a slave who is not kept in the house or at the front as a lighter-skinned servant might be.
