Wallis and Futuna, officially the Territory of Wallis and Futuna Islands (French: Wallis et Futuna or Territoire des îles Wallis et Futuna), is composed of two separate groups with three main volcanic tropical islands, which are separated 260 km:

- Wallis Islands (Uvea), in the north
- Wallis Island (Uvea)
- Hoorn Islands (Futuna Islands), in the south
- Futuna
- Alofi
