Jehovah's Witnesses have a presence in most countries in the world. These are the most recent statistics by nation and by continent or region, based on active members, or "publishers" as reported by the Watch Tower Society.

Bible study figures include studies conducted by Witness parents with their unbaptized children, which can be counted as one hour per week and one Bible study per month, per child.

The Society reports its active presence in various dependencies and states as separate 'lands', as noted.
