This is a list of the world's independent states, ranked by total area, including land and water.

This list includes entries that are not limited to those in the ISO 3166-1 standard, which covers sovereign states and dependent territories. All sovereign states are given a rank number.

Not included in the list are individual country claims to parts of the continent of Antarctica or entities such as the European Union that have some degree of sovereignty but do not consider themselves to be sovereign countries. Dependent territories are included under their mother state, but are not included in the total area of the mother state.

This list measures area by total area, the sum of land and water areas within international boundaries and coastlines.
