# List of islands of Tasmania

Tasmania is the smallest and southernmost state of Australia. The Tasmanian mainland itself is an island, with an area of 64,519 km$^2$ (24,911 sq mi) - 94.1% of the total land area of the state. There are more than 1000 smaller islands which have a combined area of 4,055 km$^2$ (1,566 sq mi), making up the remaining 5.9% of total land area.

## Classification structure

A considerable number of Tasmanian islands are identified as being in island groups, including the Breaksea, Furneaux, Hogan, Hunter, Kent, Maatsuyker, Mutton Bird, New Year, Swainson, Trumpeter, and Waterhouse groups.

### Regions

Similar to Regions of Tasmania the islands are generally distinguished by the coast that they are adjacent to, as well as Bass Strait - the main separation from the mainland state of Victoria. Five regions are aligned to the north coast and Bass Strait - North West Islands (including King Island), North Coast Islands, North Bass Strait Islands, Furneaux Islands, and North East Islands. The southern groups are South and West Islands, and East Coast Islands.

### Status

There are 334 islands within the state of Tasmania. Only sixteen of these 334 islands are listed as private islands. The majority of these sixteen private islands have a conservation covenant associated with their title restricting future development, whilst a small minority have a freehold title.
