A culture that spends its days wandering with no fixed home.
The group is usually persecuted, or at least distrusted in the lands they travel through, because of their nomadic ways. They tend toward the mystical side of things, although they're rarely an entire race of Wandering Wizards. They might believe in witchcraft, psychics, fortunetelling, or other superstitions not held by the majority, but they aren't necessarily any more talented at it.
Whether or not the people choose not to have a permanent home varies: some find it spiritually valuable to move among many groups of people, while others were uprooted decades or centuries ago by prejudice and oppression and deprived of their ancestral lands.
These cultures are generally portrayed positively and assist the protagonists, who may join them for a time on their quests and seek their guidance, as they are often keepers of old traditions nearly wiped out and will remember lost knowledge and legends the protagonists need to hear. As such, these people often function as an Aesop Enforcer or contain a Hermit Guru. They're also likely to provide a Bedouin Rescue Service.
When the protagonist actually hails from the culture instead of being an outsider, protecting and reviving its traditions will usually be a major factor in their motivations, and they will generally be separated from their fellows.
Many of these societies will be Born in the Saddle, if they move over land, or Born Under the Sail, if they're sailors by inclination. If they have any kind of formal settlements, they'll often be some kind of Mobile City. In fantasy and science-fiction genres, this trope is often a Fantasy Counterpart Culture to Turkic Peoples, Romani or Irish Travellers—or, more likely, stereotypes of them.
Supertrope to Space Nomads, which is this trope IN SPACE (go there for examples of that). Compare Walking the Earth, which is about a singular character, and Magical Romani, which may overlap.

The Dalish elves in the Dragon Age setting are nomadic, although not entirely by choice; they keep moving around both to avoid potential conflict with humans (many of whom do not especially like elves) and also to keep their mages from catching the attention of the Chantry and being forced into Circles of Magi.

Grim Dawn: The Rhowari, colloquially known as Rovers, are a nomadic culture who travel throughout the entire world in what is essentially a neverending, lifelong pilgrimage. Their prophet, the First Traveler, was once King Rhowan of Arkovia, who was warned by a god that his lands would be struck with unavoidable doom due to their obsession with lands, titles, and showy belongings; Rhowan abdicated, renounced his lands, and walked away only with what he could carry, with the Rovers' predecessors doing the same and following him, leaving Arkovia and its remaining, skeptical denizens to their doom. Nowadays they're one of the more abundant post-Dawn factions, as their nomadic lifestyle has thoroughly prepared them for such an apocalyptic event.

A Memoir by Lady Trent: The Ghalb have a culture distinct from other Akhian tribes, largely based on the Bedouin. They have no territory of their own, but practice a nomadic lifestyle, paying a fee for safe passage through other tribes' lands. They are forbidden from owning horses, and most don't even own camels, only sheep and donkeys. Because they don't wage war with other tribes and travel all across Akhia, they are sometimes employed as guides by other tribes. Despite this, other Akhians look down on them as "carrion-eaters" because they do not slaughter their meat according to Segulist or Amaneen law.

Hamster's Paradise: The Harmsters are the first sapient species to evolve on HP-02017 and are divided into four separate species. The most widespread of these are the Savannah Harmsters, who live a nomadic lifestyle due to them primarily feeding on large herding animals. One culture known as the Pyromaniacs have also had a very profound effect on the ecosystem due to their fire-based hunting strategy and nomadic lifestyle burning large swaths of land and leading to several extinctions and displacements.

Circleverse: Daja's people, the Traders, are nomadic merchants who live in caravans or trade ships. A lot of their customs are based on the Roma, including less-portrayed ones like strict taboos (Daja is made an unperson due to being the Sole Survivor from her family's shipwreck, since they believes she's cursed as a result with some incredibly bad luck), and ritual purification must be done if they're ever violated. However, unlike in most portrayals they're black people.

They're Born in the Saddle, with a test of horsemanship being the Rite of Passage for male Delzahn, though they don't exclusively ride horses — camels and large emus are also popular mounts.

Avatar: The Last Airbender:
Air Nomads have no fixed abode. While there are four air temples, the peaceful, meditative culture that held wisdom the world now mostly lacks, found value in traveling the world and meeting all types of people from all walks of life.
In The Legend of Korra, it's revealed that after defeating Ozai, Aang founded a group called the "Air Acolytes", composed of nonbenders who decided to follow the Air Nomad culture out of respects to him.

The Lord of the Rings: In the town of Bree, Frodo and his friends learn about the Rangers, described by the innkeeper Butterbur as "the wandering folk", who live a wandering life in the wide and sparsely populated lands of Eriador between Bree and the Misty Mountains. The Ranger Strider especially is described by Butterbur as "disappearing" and returning to Bree at irregular intervals and without any apparent explanation. The inhabitants of Bree consider the Rangers as mysterious and suspicious, although overall their attitude towards them is ambivalent, as Butterbur admits that Strider "can tell a rare tale when he has the mind". Eventually the hobbits learn that the distrust against the Rangers is very much unjustified and that the Rangers are really the last remaining Dúnedain of Arnor, i.e. descendants of the Númenóreans and the former ruling class of the defunct kingdom of Arnor, and are actually protecting the peoples of Bree and the Shire from orcs and trolls invading Eriador from the Misty Mountains.

The Wheel of Time: The Tuatha'an (or as most people within the story call them, the Tinkers or the Traveling Folk,) are a nomadic culture based on real-life Irish Travellers, down to the 'tinker' slur and the reputation for being dishonest. Their name is inspired by Old Irish words meaning "people of." They're known for their devotion to pacifism even under threat of death. They travel the world in brightly-painted caravans of wagons in search of 'the Song', which they believe will bring about the return of the Age of Legends. They're widely distrusted due to a reputation of thievery, as well as being blamed as kidnappers when non-Tuatha'an choose to leave their homes to join them in traveling.

Ravenloft: The Vistani are heavily inspired by the real-life Romani. They mostly make a living travelling between the domains of dread, trading in jewelry and rare goods, or doing small jobs for locals. While they were considered suspicious-to-outright villainous in earlier editions, 5e rewrote them as being seen with some suspicion, but also a welcome change of pace in the otherwise monotonous lives of Ravenloft's denizens. Until Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, they were also afflicted by a curse that made them unable to stay in one place for long.

Talion: Revenant: Many of the Uls (people descended from disinherited royalty) live this way. The Ulbands are travelers who live in painted wagons, often living as fortunetellers, with their vehicles and clothing known for having vivid colors. Given there is a lot of prejudice toward them as some uls have started civil wars trying to take their thrones back, there is some similarity with Roma and Irish Travellers.

Villains by Necessity: The Gypsies, naturally, who are basically all the Romani stereotypes transplanted into the book's universe: they are nomads who live in painted wagons, have an old woman who's a fortune teller who's really capable of seeing into the future at least somewhat, and a boy who pickpockets Sam (though he's just showing off-he gives back Sam's pouch immediately). In the book they're always portrayed very sympathetically as Sam is inspired to keep going on the quest as the forces of "Good" might repress their culture over not confirming to their rigid Knight Templar morals otherwise.

Judy's Journey is a children's novel about a 10-year-old girl and her family, who out of desperation and poverty are forced to become migrant farm workers. Many migrants do it out of desperation, like Judy and her family, but for others it's a more permanent lifestyle. Judy meets one family that has been migrating for years and has earned themselves a rather nice mobile home to live in.
