Borneo (/ˈbɔːrnioʊ/) is the third-largest island in the world, with an area of 748,168 km² (288,869 sq mi), and population of 23,053,723 (2020 national censuses).^[1]^[2]^[3] Situated at the geographic centre of Maritime Southeast Asia, it is one of the Greater Sunda Islands, located north of Java, west of Sulawesi, and east of Sumatra. The island is crossed by the equator, which divides it roughly in half. In Indonesia, the island is also known as Kalimantan, which is also the name of the Indonesian region located on the island.

The island is politically divided among three states. The sovereign state of Brunei in the north makes up 1% of the territory.^[4] Approximately 73% of Borneo is Indonesian territory, and in the north, the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak make up about 26% of the island. The Malaysian federal territory of Labuan is situated on a small island just off the coast of Borneo.
