The Greater Sunda Islands are a group of islands within the Maritime Southeast Asia. Islands included in the group are (west to east) Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Sulawesi [1] and adjacent smaller islands. The group is politically split between Brunei, Indonesia, and Malaysia.

They can be contrasted with the Lesser Sunda Islands to the east, and together with them make up the Sunda Islands.
