The Campanian Archipelago(Italian Arcipelago Campano) is an archipelago in Tyrrhenian Sea, in southwestern Italy. It comprises 5 islands: Capri, Ischia, Nisida, Procida and Vivara, each of which is part of the province of Naples.

The ancient name of this archipelago was "Isole Partenopee" (The Partenopee Islands) and it was originally extended to Pontine Islands. Nowadays, these islands are considered part of a different archipelago.
