This is a list of islands in the world ordered by their highest point. It includes all islands with peaks higher than 2,000 m. Non-insular (continental) landmasses are included for comparison.
Countries and territories listed are those containing the highest point; other countries and territories on the same landmass are listed separately.
§Continental landmasses
§Islands with highest points over 2,000 m
§Other notable island mountains
Many of the following islands are selected for inclusion as the main island or having the highest peak in their island nation. The list includes some dependent or semi-dependent island overseas territories with their own ISO 3166-1 country code. Note that the dependencies of Guernsey (Alderney, Sark, Herm) and St. Helena (Tristan da Cunha, Ascension Island) are listed as separate units.
Nevis (Saint Kitts-Nevis) is also listed separately. Note also that the islands of the former Netherlands Antilles (Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire, Saint Martin, Sint Eustatius, Saba) have been split up in separate units.
The list also includes other notable islands, for example some islands that are the largest island mountain of its country or autonomous region.
