New Britain, or Niu Briten, is the largest island in the Bismarck Archipelago (named after Otto von Bismarck) of Papua New Guinea. It is separated from the island of New Guinea by the Dampier and Vitiaz Straits and from New Ireland by the St. George's Channel. The main towns of New Britain are Rabaul/Kokopo and Kimbe.

New Britain and New Ireland are so named because their outlines on a map roughly correspond to those of Great Britain and Ireland. While the island was part of German New Guinea, it was named Neupommern ("New Pomerania").
