Historically, there are four oceans: Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic, and Indian. These oceans are recognized by almost all oceanic organizations around the world. It is the standard classification that is held by National Geographics. Technically, there is only a single ocean: the world ocean.

It's hard to count something that's really all one big thing.

There are four major oceans .... the Arctic, the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the Indian. However, they kind of blend into each other, and exactly where the lines are drawn is at least somewhat arbitrary.

There's also the "Antarctic" Ocean, though some authorities simply consider it to be the southern part of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans and not a distinct body of water in its own right.
