Апенинско полуострво или Италијанско полуострво је једно од три полуострва у јужној Европи. Протеже се дужини од око 1.000 од долине реке По на северу до Средоземног мора на југу. Полуострво има карактеристичан облик чизме, формиран од мањих полуострва Калабрије, Салента и Гаргана.
Минимална површина италијанског полуострва је тамно зелена, а максимална светло зелена
У општем дискурсу, „Италија” и „Италијанско полуострво” се често користе као синоними. Међутим, Падска низија[1][2][3] може бити искључена из италијанског полуострва. У том смислу, италијанско полуострво обухвата само око 44% укупне површине Италије. С друге стране, Сицилија и друга мања острва са полуострва могу бити географски груписана заједно са њом.
Географски, минимални опсег италијанског полуострва се састоји од земље јужно од линије која се протеже од реке Магра[4][5][6] до рекe Рубикон,[7][8] северно од тосканско-емилианских Апенина. Искључује долину Пoа и јужне падине Алпа.[9][10] Италијанско полуострво има једини активни вулкан у континенталној Европи, Везув.[11]

Полуострво има углавном медитеранску климу, мада је у планинским деловима клима знатно хладнија. Његова природна вегетација обухвата макију дуж обала и листопадне и мешовите листопадне четинарске шуме у унутрашњости.
