This is a List of largest meteorites on Earth. With regard to size, we first have to clarify whether we are talking about the largest fragment of a given meteorite or the total amount of material coming from the same meteorite fall: often a single meteoroid during atmospheric entry tends to fragment more pieces.

The table lists the largest meteorites found on the Earth's surface.
