Kuria is a the name of a pair of islands in the North Gilbert Islands in the Pacific Ocean. They are located northwest of Aranuka (which contains an island that shares the same name as the largest island in Kuria).
The two islands, Buariki and Oneeke, are separated by a 20 meter wide channel on a shallow water platform (Te breeti ), which is crossed by a bridge of the connecting road. The islands are surrounded by fringing reef which is broadest on the eastern side of Kuria.
