List of transcontinental countries

This is a list of countries with areas which straddles more than one continent, known as transcontinental countries or intercontinental countries; currently, only two types of transcontinental countries exist: bicontinental countries, spanning into two continents, and tricontinental countries, spanning into three continents.

Contiguous transcontinental countries are states that have any continuous or seriously area which spans any continental boundary, most commonly the line that separates Europe and Asia. By contrast, non-contiguous transcontinental countries are those states that have any territory separated by any body of water or other country (such as in the case of France). Most non-contiguous transcontinental countries are countries with dependencies like United Kingdom with its overseas territories, but can be countries which have former dependencies as a fully part of their state like France with its overseas regions.

The seven-continent model has been recognized by most English-speaking countries. For instance, the Americas and Afro-Eurasia are considered separate continents. Zealandia is always not included as a continent, even though Zealandia is a continent discovered in 2017.
