英语国家和地区列表
下列是一個以英語作為官方語言的國家和領土的目錄,按人口次序排列。一些國家像加拿大和菲律賓一樣使用英語作為官方語言,但不是國家中唯一的官方語言。

英語在各國的官方語言地位(法律上及事實上)
唯一官方語言,且多數人口能夠使用
並行官方語言,且多數人能夠使用
唯一官方語言,且少數人口能夠使用

大英帝國的主要組成部分,紅色部分爲曾經(及現在)英國的海外領土
英國、美國、澳大利亞、紐西蘭同爲幾乎純英文國家,但英語在四國皆不是法律上的官方語言。
英語為官方語言的地位不一定和境內說英語的人數有關。這情況比方在印度和一些非洲國家尤其明顯,菲律賓的情況比較小。
幾乎所有這些國家均是英美兩國(參見大英帝国和美國領土擴張)現在或者以前的殖民地。有一些例外,例如 :
- 卢旺达原为德屬东非的一部分,第一次世界大战结束以后成为比利時殖民地盧安達-烏隆地的一部分,1962年盧安達-烏隆地分为卢旺达和蒲隆地两个独立国家。
- 喀麦隆原为德国殖民地,第一次世界大战结束以后绝大部分被法国殖民统治,仅西部狭长地带被英国殖民统治。1960年法属喀麦隆独立,并于1961年吞并英屬喀麥隆南部(即南喀麦隆)。
這些以英語為官方語言的國家總計21.35億人,佔全世界約三分之一的人口,15,583,152平方英里和大約價值為18兆美元的國內生產總值。印度占的人口超過一半,而美國占的國內生產總值超過一半。

In addition to the Māori language, New Zealand Sign Language is also an official language of New Zealand. The New Zealand Sign Language Act 2006 permits the use of NZSL in legal proceedings, facilitates competency standards for its interpretation and guides government departments in its promotion and use. English, the medium for teaching and learning in most schools, is a de facto official language by virtue of its widespread use. For these reasons, these three languages have special mention in the New Zealand Curriculum.

- "[T]eaching of English continued in primary, secondary and tertiary level not because it was the official language but it became the language of trade and commerce. Over the years, the prominence of English continued to rise. ... English language is dominantly present in every side of our national life while on the other hand in our constitution it is clearly declared that the language of the country is Bengali. In fact, nothing is said about the status of English language in our constitution. On one hand, economic activities in the private companies are carried out in English while there is a government law (Bengali procholon ain1987) that government offices must use Bengali in their official works. So from the government point of view Bengali is the national-official language of Bangladesh and English is the most important foreign language. But in reality English is the second language of the country and in many places English is more important than Bengali in Bangladesh." https://www.scribd.com/doc/53272796/Sucess-of-English-language-in-Bangladesh-rec (页面存档备份,存于)

In 1948, the newly independent state of Israel took over the old British regulations that had set English, Arabic, and Hebrew as official languages for Mandatory Palestine but, as mentioned, dropped English from the list. In spite of this, official language use has maintained a de facto role for English, after Hebrew but before Arabic.

English is not considered official but it plays a dominant role in the educational and public life of Israeli society. [...] It is the language most widely used in commerce, business, formal papers, academia, and public interactions, public signs, road directions, names of buildings, etc. English behaves 'as if' it were the second and official language in Israel.

In terms of English, there is no connection between the declared policies and statements and de facto practices. While English is not declared anywhere as an official language, the reality is that it has a very high and unique status in Israel. It is the main language of the academy, commerce, business, and the public space.
