Islam in Christmas Island is the island's largest religion and is primarily practised by the island's ethnic Malay population; the island has no current indigenous population.

The Muslim population is estimated at 19% (2016) of an overall population of 2,205 (2016), by the CIA World Factbook.[1]

The Australian Federation of Islamic Councils includes a council for each state, as well as Australian Capital Territory, Northern Territory, and Christmas Island.[2]

The town of Katanning, Western Australia, has a large population of Christmas Island Muslims.[3]
