Ailinginae Atoll is an atoll of 25 islands in the Pacific Ocean. It is a legislative district of the Ralik Chain of the Marshall Islands. Its total land area is only 1.08 miles², but that encloses a lagoon of 40.91 miles².
Ailinginae Atoll has been uninhabited since 1954 when the few islanders were evacuated due to nuclear fallout fears from the Castle Bravo at Bikini Atoll to the northwest.
