The Territorial Collectivity of Saint Pierre and Miquelon (French: Collectivité territoriale de Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon) is an overseas collectivity of France located in the North Atlantic Ocean about 30 kilometres (19 mi) south of the Canadian Island of Newfoundland. The collectivity comprises a group of small islands, the main ones being Saint Pierre and Miquelon.

The islands are part of France and the European Union but due to special immigration procedures, EU nationals who are not French citizens are not allowed to exercise free movement and business establishment in the archipelago.^{[failed verification]}

The archipelago is the only remnant of the former colonial territory of New France that remains under French control.
