The King George Islands (Îles du Roi Georges) is a subgroup of the Tuamotus Archipelago group in French Polynesia.

The King George Islands include four atolls and one island:

  • Ahe
  • Manihi
  • Takapoto
  • Takaroa
  • Tikei Island

Tikei is the easternmost island and Ahe Atoll is the westernmost of the subgroup. The distance between them is 200 km (124 mi). Unlike the atolls of the Palliser group that form a spindle from the northwest to the southeast, the King George Islands follow a mirror image pattern of grouping from southwest to the northeast.
