List of islands by population

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 2a02:c7f:c652:1400:24cd:599d:7ece:fe9d (talk) at 16:35, 12 December 2019 (Republic of Ireland for clarity & Northern Ireland has no official flag). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a list of islands in the world ordered by population, which includes all islands with population greater than 100,000. For comparison, continental landmasses are also shown, in italics. The population of the world's islands is over 730 million, approximately 11% of the world's total population. Of those, only Java and Honshu have populations over 1% of the global population.

Islands ordered by population

Due to the complicated nature of determining exactly what constitutes a geographic island, versus an administrative region, please see comments for what is included in figures, as some islands include nearby ones. However, this practice is not advised.
