Flint Island is an uninhabited coral island in the central Pacific Ocean. It is one of several islands comprising the Southern Line Islands under the jurisdiction of Kiribati. In 2015, the I-Kiribati government established a twelve-nautical-mile (22-kilometre; 14-mile) exclusion zone around each of the southern Line Islands (Caroline, Flint, Vostok, Malden, and Starbuck), preventing fishing in the surrounding waters.
