The Frisian Islands are an archipelago off the coast of north-west Europe, in the North Sea. They lie off the coasts of the Netherlands and Germany, and are divided between those two nations.

The islands are also notable for their language, Frisian (which has several dialects), which is still spoken by several thousand residents. The Frisian language is generally considered to be etymologically the closest surviving relative of English.
