Die Falklandinseln (englisch Falkland Islands), selten auch Malwinen (französisch Îles Malouines, spanisch Islas Malvinas), sind eine Inselgruppe im südlichen Atlantik. Sie gehören geographisch zu Südamerika und liegen 395 km östlich von Südargentinien und Feuerland. Die Falklandinseln sind ein britisches Überseegebiet mit innerer Autonomie. Das Vereinigte Königreich übernimmt Verteidigung und Außenpolitik. Seit 1833 werden sie von Argentinien beansprucht. Die Falklandinseln bestehen aus etwa 200 Inseln, deren wichtigste Westfalkland und Ostfalkland mit je etwa 6.000 km² sind (140 km × ca. 50 km). Die nördlichen Teile der beiden Hauptinseln sind von Hügelketten überzogen. Sie verlaufen in West-Ost-Richtung und erreichen im Mount Usborne auf Ostfalkland 708 m Höhe. Der zweithöchste Berg heißt Mount Adam und befindet sich auf Westfalkland.

The Falkland Islands (Spanish Islas Malvinas) are an archipelago located in the South Atlantic Ocean on the Patagonian Shelf. The principal islands are about 300 miles (500 kilometres) east of the Patagonian coast at a latitude of about 52°S. The archipelago, which has an area of 4,700 square miles (12,173 square kilometres), comprises East Falkland, West Falkland and 776 smaller islands. As a British overseas territory, the islands enjoy a large degree of internal self-governance, with the United Kingdom guaranteeing good governance and taking responsibility for their defence and foreign affairs. The islands' capital is Stanley on East Falkland.
