Please, only add waterfalls that have a Wikipedia article. --> <!-- Waterfalls that are mentioned in other articles may be acceptable if a reliably cited section is provided for those falls. --> <!-- Before editing, please search first or click the 'Show preview' button before saving edits and check that the new link is blue. --> <!-- If the link is red, please cancel the edit since it will probably be removed. --> This list of notable [[waterfall]]s of the world is sorted by continent, then country, then province, state or territory.
