The Remetull Islands (Sedunnic: Remetullnesslē, pronounced ['reːm.eːt̪ʉl̪.n̪esle]), also known informally as the Remteulls, are a Sedunnic province and archipelago in the South Pacific Ocean, in the Central Islands. They are westernmost territory of Sedunn at 1,200 kilometres (744 miles) west of Mainland Sedunn. The population was 1,665,248 in 2019 with 284,784 living in the largest city and province capital Tarvem.

The archipelago consists of six main islands and several other small islands. From largest to smallest in area: Pieless, Akuess, Sevvskaimm, Lurrm Benn-ness, Ninn Benn-ness and Farness. The largest urban cities Tarvem, Gafsred and Ybe'fle are all located on Pieless.

The archipelago was uninhabited until Sedunners discovered and settled it in about 680 BC. The name means "Five Day Islands" and refers to the amount of time one of the early explorers needed to cross the sea. The Remetull Islands became a hub for continued Sedunnic exploration of the seas and eventually a significant node in the cross-Pacific trade network.
