As an archipelago, the Philippines comprises about 7,641 islands^[1][2] clustered into three major island groups: Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao. Only about 2,000 islands are inhabited,^[3] and more than 5,000 are yet to be officially named.^[2]

The following list breaks the islands down by region and smaller island group for easier reference.

Below is a list of the largest Philippine islands. There are discrepancies in the area estimates across various sources, which would change the rankings of some smaller islands. The areas given may not be definitive.

The 50 largest islands have a combined area of around 321,000 square kilometers (124,000 sq mi) and a combined population of about 100.9 million (2015); thus they contain about 99% of the Philippines' total land area and total population (2015). Combined population of Luzon and Mindanao accounts for 80% of total population of the Philippines.

A. ^{^} Rankings only provided for the first 40 largest islands. The list is incomplete, missing some islands with unknown or unreliable areas, making the rankings for smaller islands uncertain.
