This is a list of transcontinental former countries, i.e. countries which covered land on two or more continents, including islands associated with a continent other than the one where the country was based.
The examples below are listed in chronological order[dubious – discuss] with the number of continents covered in parentheses and the country's primary continent listed first.
When a timespan is included, it is the time period in which the country was transcontinental.
