The Isles of Scilly ( /ˈsɪli/; Cornish: Syllan or Enesek Syllan) form an archipelago off the southwestern tip of the Cornish peninsula of Great Britain.

Since 1890 the Islands have had a unitary authority separate from Cornwall's, but some services are combined with Cornwall and the islands are still part of the ceremonial county of Cornwall. This council is currently known as the Council of the Isles of Scilly. The adjective "Scillonian" is sometimes used for people or things related to the archipelago. The Isles of Scilly also form part of the Duchy of Cornwall. Tourism forms a large segment of the Islands economies, along with farming and agriculture. Culturally the Islands share much with neighbouring Cornwall's distinct Celtic culture, as well as strong linguistic ties.

Scilly has been inhabited since the Stone Age and its history has been one of subsistence living until the early 20th century. Farming and fishing continue today, but the main industry now is tourism.

The islands may correspond to the Cassiterides (Tin Isles) visited by the Phoenicians and mentioned by the Greeks. However, the archipelago itself does not contain much tin—it may be that they were used as a staging post from the mainland.
