equator traverses the land and/or water of 13 countries in total:

- São Tomé and Príncipe - passing through Ilhéu das Rolas, an islet in this archipelago
- Gabon
- Republic of the Congo
- Democratic Republic of Congo
- Uganda - including some islets in Lake Victoria
- Kenya
- Somalia
- Maldives - misses every island, passing between Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll and Gnaviyani Atoll
- Indonesia - crosses many islands, most notably Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi, and Halmahera
- Kiribati - misses every island, passing between Aranuka and Nonouti Atolls in the Gilbert Islands
- Ecuador - including Isabela Island in the Galápagos Islands
- Colombia
- Brazil - including some islands in the mouth of the Amazon River and passing through Macapá, capital of Amapá state

The equator narrowly misses the territory of the United States near Baker Island and Jarvis Island in the United States Minor Outlying Islands. The southern end of Baker Island lies just 13 minutes of latitude north of the equator, putting the equator just outside the 12-mile limit for territorial waters. However, the equator does pass through the Contiguous Waters and the Exclusive Economic Zone of the United States.
