特立尼达和多巴哥共和国(英语:Republic of Trinidad and Tobago,港台通常直接简称其作“千里达”)是一个位于中美洲加勒比海南部、紧邻于委内瑞拉外海的岛国。全国由两个主要大岛——特立尼达岛与多巴哥岛,以及另外21个较小岛屿组成,其中全国大部分的人口均集中在特立尼达岛之上。二战过后,全球掀起一股殖民地解放浪潮,而原属英国殖民地的诸多加勒比海地区(包括特立尼达岛与多巴哥岛)也在1958年时组建成西印度群岛联邦来为日后的民族独立作准备;不久,该联邦便在牙买加退出的情况下逐渐瓦解,而特立尼达岛与多巴哥岛也于1962年宣布独立以合组为一个国家,并在1976年成为英联邦的一员。
位于特立尼达岛西岸的海港城市西班牙港是该共和国的首都。该城目前也是美洲自由贸易区(Free Trade Area of the Americas,FTAA)常设代表处总部预定地的候选名单里,排名顺位最优先的城市,在中南美洲的经济圈里占有颇重要的地位。
The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago (pronounced /ˈtrɪnɨdæd ən təˈbeɪɡoʊ/) is an archipelagic state in the southern Caribbean, lying northeast of the South American country of Venezuela and south of Grenada in the Lesser Antilles. It shares maritime boundaries with other nations including Barbados to the northeast, Guyana to the southeast, and Venezuela to the south and west.
The country covers an area of 5,128 square kilometres (1,980 sq mi) and consists of two main islands, Trinidad and Tobago, and numerous smaller landforms. Trinidad is the larger and more populous of the main islands; Tobago is much smaller, comprising about 6% of the total area and 4% of the entire population which is estimated at 1.3 million (2005). The nation lies outside the hurricane belt.
Unlike most of the English-speaking Caribbean, Trinidad and Tobago's economy is primarily industrial, with an emphasis on petroleum and petrochemicals. Trinidad and Tobago is known for its Carnival and was the birthplace of steelpan, calypso, soca, and limbo.
