'''Montecristo''', also '''Monte Cristo''' ({{IPAc-en|ˌ|m|ɒ|n|t|i|ˈ|k|r|ɪ|s|t|oʊ}},<ref>{{Dictionary.com|Monte Cristo|accessdate=28 February 2018}}</ref> {{IPA|it|ˌmonteˈkristo|lang}}) and formerly '''Oglasa''' ({{langx|grc|Ὠγλάσσα|Ōglássa}}), is an island in the [[Tyrrhenian Sea]] and part of the [[Tuscan Archipelago]]. Administratively it belongs to the [[comune|municipality]] of [[Portoferraio]] in the [[province of Livorno]], [[Italy]]. The island has an area of {{convert|10.39|km2|abbr=on}}, is approximately {{convert|4.1|km|abbr=on}} wide at its widest point, and is {{convert|3.4|km|abbr=on}} long; the coasts are steep, and extend for {{convert|16|km|abbr=on}}.<ref name=cfs>{{cite web|url=http://www3.corpoforestale.it/flex/cm/pages/ServeBLOB.php/L/IT/IDPagina/422|title=Riserva Naturale Statale Isola di Montecristo|publisher=Corpo forestale dello Stato|accessdate=28 February 2012|language=Italian|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120130082234/http://www3.corpoforestale.it/flex/cm/pages/ServeBLOB.php/L/IT/IDPagina/422|archive-date=30 January 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> The island is a state [[nature reserve]] and forms part of the [[Tuscan Archipelago National Park]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.parks.it/parco.nazionale.arcip.toscano/Epar.php |title=Parco Nazionale Arcipelago Toscano |publisher=Ente Parco Nazionale Arcipelago Toscano |accessdate=2 March 2012}}</ref>

Much of the island's fame is derived from the fact that it provides the title of 1844 novel ''[[The Count of Monte Cristo]]'', by [[Alexandre Dumas]], and is one of the novel's settings.
