{{About-distinguish2|an archipelago in the [[Azores]], [[Portugal]]|the similarly-named [[Formigues Islands]] in [[Girona (province)|Girona Province]], [[Spain]]}}

'''Formigas Islets''' ({{langx|pt|'''Ilhéus das Formigas'''}} {{IPA|pt|fuɾˈmiɣɐʃ|}}; literally, ''Islets of the Ants''), sometimes referred to as the '''Formigas Bank''', are a group of uninhabited rocky outcroppings in the eastern group of the [[Azores]] [[archipelago]], an autonomous region of [[Portugal]]. The bank is located {{convert|43|km|mi}} northeast of [[Santa Maria Island (Azores)|Santa Maria]] and southeast of [[São Miguel Island|São Miguel]], covering a surface area of approximately {{convert|9000|m2|ft2}}. The submerged [[Dollabarat]] Reef is in the same area. The only structure on the islets is a [[lighthouse]] located on '''Formigão''' (''Big Ant''), the largest [[islet]].
