This list of [[impact structure]]s (including impact craters) on [[Earth]] contains the majority of the 194+ confirmed impact structures given in the [[Earth Impact Database]] as of 2024.<ref name="EID">{{cite web |title=Earth Impact Database |url=https://impact.uwo.ca/map/ |archive-url= |archive-date= |access-date=2016-04-30 |publisher=[[University of New Brunswick]]}}</ref>

Alphabetical lists for different continents can be found under [[#Impact structures by continent|Impact structures by continent]] below.

Unconfirmed structures can be found at [[List of possible impact structures on Earth]].

==Confirmed impact structures listed by size and age==
These features were caused by the collision of [[meteor]]s (consisting of large fragments of [[asteroid]]s) or [[comets]] (consisting of ice, dust particles and rocky fragments) with the Earth. For eroded or buried craters, the stated diameter typically refers to the best available estimate of the original [[rim (craters)|rim]] diameter, and may not correspond to present surface features. Time units are either in [[Year#SI prefix multipliers|ka]] (thousands) or [[Year#SI prefix multipliers|Ma]] (millions) of years.

===10 ka or less===
Less than ten thousand years old, and with a diameter of {{cvt|100|m||}} or more. The EID lists fewer than ten such craters, and the largest in the last 100,000 years (100 ka) is the {{cvt|4.5|km||}} [[Rio Cuarto craters|Rio Cuarto crater]] in [[Argentina]].<ref name=bland>Bland, Phil A.; de Souza Filho, C.

Most recorded impact craters are over 10 million years old, or have widely uncertain ages. The [[Chicxulub crater|Chicxulub impact]] has been widely considered the most likely cause for the [[Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event|Cretaceous–Paleogene mass extinction]], with some scholars linking other impacts like the [[Popigai impact structure|Popigai impact]] in Russia and the [[Chesapeake Bay impact crater|Chesapeake Bay impact]] to later extinction events, though the causal relationship has been questioned.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Rampino |first=Michael R. |date=February 2020 |title=Relationship between impact-crater size and severity of related extinction episodes |url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0012825219303939 |journal=Earth-Science Reviews |language=en |volume=201 |pages=102990 |doi=10.1016/j.earscirev.2019.102990|bibcode=2020ESRv..20102990R |url-access=subscription }}</ref>

== Inferred impact events ==
Some impact events are only known from events like layers of spherules or [[tektite]]s generated by the impact recorded in contemporary rocks, and their impact structures may no longer exist.

==Sublists and statistics of impact structures by continent==
{{As of|2022}}, the [[Earth Impact Database]] (EID) contains 190 confirmed impact structures.<ref name=EID/> The table below is arranged by the [[Continent|continent's]] percentage of the Earth's land area, and where Asian and Russian structures are grouped together per EID convention. The global distribution of known impact structures apparently shows a surprising asymmetry,<ref name="Prezzi">Prezzi, Claudia B.; Orgeira, María Julia; Acevedo, Rogelio D.; Ponce, Juan Federico; Martinez, Oscar; Rabassa, Jorge O.; Corbella, Hugo; Vásquez, Carlos; González-Guillot, Mauricio; Subías, Ignacio; (2011); [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2012PEPI..192...21P "Geophysical characterization of two circular structures at Bajada del Diablo (Patagonia, Argentina): Indication of impact origin"], ''Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors'', vol. 192, pp. 21–34</ref> with the small but well-funded [[Europe]]an continent having a ''large'' percentage of confirmed impact structures. It is suggested this situation is an artifact, highlighting the importance of intensifying research in less studied areas like [[Antarctica]], [[South America]] and elsewhere.<ref name="Prezzi" />

Links in the column "Continent" will give a list of craters for that continent.
