Falster is a Danish island. It includes Denmark's southernmost point, Gedser Odde.

It is connected to Zealand in the north by two bridges - the Farö Bridges (Farøbroerne) are part of Euroroute E47 from Copenhagen (and Helsingborg) to Lübeck (and thence Hamburg and the south). The E47 continues via a tunnel to Lolland - there are also two bridges over the narrow Guldborgsund.

The area of the island is 514 km² and there are 43,537 inhabitants, over 40% of whom live in the principal town, Nykøbing Falster.Template:Denmark-geo-stub
