El Atlántico es la parte del océano mundial de la Tierra que separa América —al oeste— de Europa y África —al este—. Se extiende desde el océano Glacial Ártico, en el norte, hasta el Antártico, en el sur. Es el segundo océano más extenso de la Tierra tras el Pacífico. Ocupa el 20 % de la superficie del planeta, y el 26 % del total de tierras sumergidas. Es además el océano más joven del planeta, formado hace 200 millones de años por la división del supercontinente Pangea. El Atlántico es un agente de importancia global en lo referente al clima, ya que de sus corrientes depende en buena medida el clima de los continentes ribereños. A lo largo de la historia ha supuesto una barrera cultural que ha separado los llamados Viejo y Nuevo Mundo hasta la llegada de la Era de los Descubrimientos, lo que supuso para el océano convertirse en un punto de intercambio comercial y cultural. Actualmente no ha perdido su importancia geoestratégica, convirtiéndose en escenario de grandes batallas desde el siglo XIX hasta ser escenario de conflictos en la Guerra Fría. El ecuador terrestre lo divide artificialmente en dos partes, Atlántico Norte y Atlántico Sur. Su nombre procede del griego Atlas, uno de los titanes de la mitología griega. Alcanza su máxima profundidad en la fosa de Puerto Rico. Se comunica artificialmente con el océano Pacífico a través del canal de Panamá, de forma natural a través del estrecho de Magallanes y el mar de Hoces, con el océano Índico a través del canal de Suez y el sur de África y con el mar Mediterráneo a través del estrecho de Gibraltar.
