Pitcairn Island is one of a group of four islands called the Pitcairn Islands, located halfway between New Zealand and South America in the South Pacific Ocean. It is the only one of the four islands with a resident population. This was estimated as about 50 individuals as of 2010.

The islands, a major setting in the historically-based Mutiny on the Bounty, are geographically-speaking one of the most remote inhabited places on Earth. The islands are a British Overseas Territory, having been made a colony in 1838. The other islands are named Henderson, Ducie, and Oeno. Although much larger than Pitcairn, Henderson has tall coastal cliffs and is therefore less accessible.
