This is a list of all of the islands of Kiribati. The Republic of Kiribati consists of 32 atolls and one raised coral island. These islands are dispersed throughout the three island groups that form Kiribati: the Gilbert Islands, the Phoenix Islands, the Line Islands. All the Phoenix Islands are uninhabited except for one island, the sparsely populated Canton Island. The remaining Phoenix Islands make up the Phoenix Islands Marine Protected Area, which is the third largest marine protected area in the world.
The Gilbert Islands are part of Micronesia. The Phoenix Islands and Line Islands are geographically located within the Polynesian Triangle, but had no permanent settlements until European colonization and their current populations stem from the Micronesian inhabitants of the Gilbert Islands.
The table includes area and population data.
