Pelagie Islands (Isole Pelagie in Italian) consist of Lampedusa, Linosa, and Lampione. They are small islands in the Mediterranean Sea between Malta and Tunisia, south of Sicily. They are part of Agrigento province, Italy.

The name Pelagie comes from the Greek word "pelaghia", meaning high sea. The archipelago is the most southern part of Italy, and is part of the African continent.
