Map of the Campanian Archipelago

The Campanian Archipelago (Italian: Arcipelago Campano), also called Neapolitan Archipelago (Italian: Arcipelago Napoletano) or Parthenopaean Islands (Italian: Isole Partenopee) is an archipelago in the Tyrrhenian Sea, in southwestern Italy. It comprises 5 islands: Capri, Ischia, Nisida, Procida and Vivara, each of which is part of the province of Naples.

The ancient name of this archipelago was the Parthenopaean Islands, and it was originally extended to the Pontine Islands. Nowadays, these islands are considered part of a different archipelago.
