Nantucket ist eine etwa 125 Quadratkilometer große Atlantik-Insel des Bundesstaates Massachusetts der Vereinigten Staaten südlich von Cape Cod und östlich von Martha’s Vineyard. Ihr Name stammt aus einer Indianersprache und bedeutet in etwa „das weit entfernte Land“. Inklusive der Wasserflächen und zweier kleinerer Inseln bildet sie die 273 Quadratkilometer große Gebietskörperschaft Nantucket County mit der darin gelegenen Stadt Nantucket und dem Verwaltungssitz (County Seat) in Massachusetts.Die Stadt und Insel sind vor allem durch den von dort im 18. Jahrhundert ausgehenden Walfang bekannt geworden.
