The island of Bioko, the largest of the islands south of Nigeria, is part of Equatorial Guinea. The island of Principe, which is due west of Equatorial Guinea, is part of the independent island nation of São Tomé and Príncipe.

Until February 2017, the city of Malabo on Bioko was the governmental capital of Equatorial Guinea. The new capital, Oyala, was still being constructed on the mainland.

As a Portuguese colony, Bioko was called Fernando Pó island (aka Fernando Poo).
