| | List of misleading place names - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | This article gathers together place names that are likely to mislead because they duplicate or resemble the names of other places that are much better known. |
 | | In some cases the more famous place predates the more obscure (such as New York in Lincolnshire, England), whilst in other cases a more recent placename has come to overshadow the original (such as Woodstock, in Oxfordshire, England). |
 | | Although the relationship is often deliberate, as in the naming of places in the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand after European towns and cities, it is sometimes a linguistic coincidence (as with Korea, Poland, Mali, Guinea, and Malta, Austria). |
