Howlandön (engelska Howland Island Territory) är ett område inom Förenta staternas mindre öar i Oceanien och Västindien och har tillhört USA sedan den 5 februari 1857 utan att vara en införlivad del av hemlandet. Ön brukar nämnas tillsammans med Bakerön som Baker-Howland öarna då de endast ligger cirka 100 km från varandra.
