List of divided islands
Download coordinates as:
This is a list of islands whose territory is shared among two or more sovereign countries and delineated by one or more international borders. This list includes territorial disputes where islands are de facto divided or where at least one party's territorial claims include division of an island.
Other islands have been divided by international borders in the past but they are now unified.
The definite borders of modern nation states do not apply in other forms of societal organisation, where "divided" islands may consequently be less noteworthy. For example, in Ancient Greece, the island of Euboea was divided among several city-states, including Chalcis and Eretria; and before its settlement by Europeans, the island of Tasmania was divided among nine indigenous tribes.
Islands in wartime may be divided between an invading and defending power, as with Crete in 1645–1669 between the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Venice.
Examples of formerly divided islands include:
A few former islands have disappeared because of changes in water levels:
There are islands that lie across different provinces or states of the same country.
