This is a list of islands in the Atlantic Ocean, the largest of which is Greenland. Note that the definition of the ocean used by the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) excludes the seas, gulfs, bays, etc., bordering the ocean itself.[1] Thus, for instance, not all of the islands of the United Kingdom are actually in or bordering on the Atlantic. For reference, islands in gulfs and seas are included in a separate section. Oceanic islands are formed by seamounts rising from the ocean floor with peaks above the surface of the ocean and are not parts of continental tectonic plates.

[fr] Liste des îles de l'océan Atlantique

L'océan Atlantique comprend de nombreuses îles ou archipels. Certains de ces territoires sont des parties émergées des continents qui le bordent, d'autres furent créés par la dorsale océanique centrale. En voici une liste non exhaustive établie selon que ces îles soient situées en Atlantique nord, dans les Caraïbes ou en Atlantique Sud.
