The Australia – Solomon Islands Maritime Boundary Agreement is a 1988 treaty in which Australia and the Solomon Islands agreed to delimit a maritime boundary in the ocean and the seabed.[1]

The agreement was signed in Honiara on 13 September 1988. The text of the treaty sets out a relatively short boundary composed of two straight-line maritime segments defined by three individual coordinate points. The boundary represents an approximate equidistant line between Australia and the Solomon Islands.

The full name of the treaty is Agreement between the Government of Australia and the Government of Solomon Islands establishing certain sea and seabed boundaries. It entered into force on 14 April 1989 after it had been ratified by both countries.
