.sb is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Solomon Islands. It is administered through the Council of Country Code Administrators (CoCCA).

The country code derives from the name of the country prior to independence according to the ISO 3166 standard (Solomon Islands, British).

The Principality of Seborga sometimes uses this domain name for its websites.[http://www.principatodiseborga.sb Official website of the Principality of Seborga]
