Les îles des Kiribati se répartissent en 32 atolls groupés en trois archipels qui sont les îles Gilbert, les îles Phœnix et les îles de la Ligne. À ces atolls, il faut rajouter l'île de Banaba qui ne fait partie d'aucun archipel car étant isolée à l'ouest des îles Gilbert, à proximité de Nauru. Elle peut être rattachée aux îles Gilbert.
