List of islands in the Pacific Ocean
This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
This is a list of many of the major Pacific islands, organized by archipelago or political unit. In order to keep this list of moderate size, links are given to more complete lists for countries with large numbers of small or uninhabited islands.
Note: many Polynesian languages have a glottal stop, which in most of these are seldom written, however. If a name with a < ʻ > cannot be found, try to rewrite it without it. See 'okina for more info.
