    Was hat das mit dir zu tun? Das hat nichts mit dir zu tun. Das geht dich nichts an! - These are quite common expressions in everyday German. However, everything depends on context. Please give examples of concrete situations where you want to use such sentences.

    PS Please be aware that Was hat das mit dir zu tun has quite a different meaning and usage than Das geht dich nichts an. I don't know if your English phrases are pragmatic synonyms. The German phrases are not! A rough synonym of Das geht dich nichts an would be Was hast du damit zu tun!

The protypic way to express this is




Das geht dich nichts an.




Besides that, there are a lot of other ways to express this:




Warum mischst du dich hier ein?



Warum hängst du dich hier rein?



Misch dich nicht in fremde Angelegenheiten.



Misch dich nicht in Sachen, die dich nichts angehen.



Was hast du damit zu schaffen?



Was geht dich das an?




rather informal:




Das ist nicht dein Tanzbereich. (literal translation: That's not your dancing area.)



Kümmer dich um deinen eignen Kram.




informal / angry:




Kümmer dich um deinen eignen Scheiß.



(from comment, credits to Christian Geiselmann) Halt du dich da raus!




rather old:




Was kümmert's dich?



Was schert's dich?




a proverb goes like:




Ein jeder kehre vor seiner eigenen Tür.
