Terra nullius (pengucapan bahasa Inggris: [ˈtɛrənʌˈlaɪ.əs]) adalah istilah dalam bahasa Latin yang berasal dari hukum Romawi, yang berarti "tanah tak bertuan". Istilah ini digunakan pada hukum internasional untuk wilayah tanpa kepemilikan dari suatu negara. Wilayah terra nullius dapat dikuasai oleh suatu negara melalui pendudukan.[1] Contoh terra nullius yang ada kini adalah:
- Wilayah Bir Tawil antara Mesir dan Sudan
- Marie Byrd Land di Antartika
- Perairan internasional
- Objek-objek di luar angkasa seperti Bulan

Even as to terra nullius, like a volcanic island or territory abandoned by its former sovereign, a claimant by right as against all others has more to do than planting a flag or rearing a monument. Since the 19th century the most generous settled view has been that discovery accompanied by symbolic acts give no more than "an inchoate title, an option, as against other states, to consolidate the first steps by proceeding to effective occupation within a reasonable time.8 I.
