This is a list of islands of Singapore. Massive land reclamation works over the past centuries has merged many of Singapore's former islands and islets and has created a few larger ones. In the 1960s, prior to land reclamation projects, it was estimated that Singapore had about 77 islands and islets. At present, Singapore has about 64 islands, with 7 of them belonging to the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF).
However, some recent academic and cartographic studies report lower totals ranging from approximately 44 to 54 islands, depending on whether reclaimed land, amalgamated islands, and small islets are counted separately.
