[de] Liste der Inseln in New York City

Die Liste der Inseln in New York City nennt die Inseln innerhalb von New York City, getrennt nach den fünf Stadtbezirken (Boroughs). Dabei liegen vier der fünf Bezirke selbst nicht auf dem Festland. Brooklyn und Queens liegen größtenteils auf Long Island, Manhattan ist ebenfalls eine Insel. Nur der Stadtbezirk Bronx liegt nicht auf einer Insel. Mehr oder weniger große Inseln sind jedoch allen fünf Stadtbezirken zugeordnet.
