This is a list of fictional locations in Artemis Fowl, a book series by Eoin Colfer.

Fowl Manor in the home of Angeline Fowl, Artemis Fowl I, Artemis Fowl II, his twin brothers Beckett and Myles, Domovoi Butler, and sometimes Butler's younger sister Juliet. It is on the outskirts of Dublin, Ireland. It is a large complex with a fortified medieval wall surrounding a central manor house as well as gardens and fields for growing their own food.
Haven City is a fairy metropolis located hundreds of miles underground. It is the capital of the Lower Elements and has a population of around ten thousand. It is so named because it is one of the last havens for fairies; along with Atlantis, is one of the only places that a large number of fairies can live and avoid human contact. Haven is primarily powered by geo-thermal power, and has artificial sunstrips located on its ceiling to give the illusion of day and night.
Ho Chi Minh City is where Artemis Fowl engages in his first encounter with a sprite. This sprite, when promised a cure for her alcohol and holy water poisoning, gives Artemis her copy of the fairy Book of the People for thirty minutes. [1]
Hybras is an island featured in Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony. It is a lunar rock of considerable size which was disconnected from the moon when it was hit by a large meteorite. Upon landing on Earth, it was met with a magma stream and was welded to the surface. The demons and imps which live there are descended from bacterial life forms in the lunar soil. During the "Battle of Taillte", warlocks of the demon tribe transported Hybras through a "time tunnel", arriving in Limbo, where time does not exist. In the fifth book, the time spell starts to unravel. Following Artemis' help, Hybras is moved back to Earth.[2]
Located in Haven, the Police Plaza holds the barracks and control center for the Lower Elements Police (LEPrecon), including head technician Foaly's operations booth and the LEPretrieval and LEPrecon squads.
Spiro Needle is the headquarters of the business Fission Chips, owned by Jon Spiro, located in downtown Chicago.
E1Tara is a surveillance and traveling point used by fairies. This is where most fairies replenish their magic at the full moon; it is thus considerably crowded. Most fairies consider it the most magical place above ground.
Howler's Peak is the fairy jail where goblins are imprisoned. It is from Howler's Peak that General Scalene escaped in Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception.[3]
Atlantis is a submerged fairy town. It is here that Mulch Diggums was imprisoned after his adventures in Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code. The only way to reach Atlantis is to take a submarine.[4]
The Eleven Wonders is a ruined fairy theme park. It is composed of "hemispherical structures" that are constructed of "hexagonal panels welded together along the seams", each one roughly the size of a house. The park is lit by a huge artificial crystal sun and Glo-strips. It appears in Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception, and is infested by trolls. The theme park contains models of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and four other monuments thought by fairy scholars to be wonders, even if humans do not count them as such. These are Abu Simbel, Borobodur, the Throne Hall at Persepolis and the Moai statues on Rapa Nui. [5]
