'''East Falkland''' ({{lang-es|Isla Soledad}}) is the largest island of the [[Falkland Islands|Falklands]] in the South Atlantic, having an area of {{convert|6605|km2|sqmi|abbr=in}} or 54% of the total area of the Falklands. The island consists of two main land masses, of which the more southerly is known as [[Lafonia]]; it is joined by a narrow [[isthmus]] thatwhere the settlement of [[Goose Green]] is located, and it was the scene of the [[Battle of Goose Green]] during the [[Falklands War]].
 
The two main centres of population in the Falklands, [[Stanley, Falkland Islands|Stanley]] and [[Mount Pleasant, Falkland Islands|Mount Pleasant]], which are both in the northern half of East Falkland, are home to three-quarters of the island's population.
