Ein Großteil der flächenmäßig größten Inseln der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika konzentriert sich auf den Alexanderarchipel und die Aleuten im Bundesstaat Alaska sowie die Hawaii-Inseln des Bundesstaates Hawaii. Die Contiguous United States, also die 48 zusammenhängenden Bundesstaaten auf dem amerikanischen Festland, haben – verglichen mit Ländern ähnlicher Größe – eine geringe Anzahl an Inseln aufzuweisen.

Incluye todas las islas con una superficie de más de 50 km², aunque puede estar incompleta. No incluye penínsulas que originalmente estaban conectadas con el continente, pero que se han transformado efectivamente en islas por la construcción de canales, como cape Cod, isla Cobre o la península de Delmarva. Aparecen sombreadas en azul las islas fluviales y lacustres.
