In this paper, we present the first termite records from the oceanic main island of Fernando de Noronha, based mainly on alates collected with malaise and light traps. Five termite species were present: Cryptotermes havilandi, Coptotermes gestroi, Nasutitermes corniger, and two undetermined species of Neotermes. The first three species are invasive urban pests, while the Neotermes species are probably new. Nasutitermes corniger was also sampled from arboreal nests.
