The Roanoke Colony () refers to two attempts by Sir Walter Raleigh to found the first permanent English settlement in North America. The first colony was established by governor Ralph Lane in 1585 on Roanoke Island in what is now Dare County, North Carolina, United States. Following the failure of the 1585 settlement, a second colony led by John White landed on the same island in 1587, and became known as the Lost Colony due to the unexplained disappearance of its population.

Sir Walter Raleigh established the short-lived Roanoke Colony in 1585. The 1607 settlement of the Jamestown colony grew into the Colony of Virginia and Virgineola (settled unintentionally by the shipwreck of the Virginia Company's Sea Venture in 1609) quickly renamed The Somers Isles (though the older Spanish name of Bermuda has resisted replacement).
British colonization of the Americas
There were several English colonies founded in the Americas, the first of which failed. The first official English colony in the Americas was the Roanoke Colony, founded by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1585. The first successful English colony in the Americas was the Jamestown Colony, founded in 1607, which was successful in part due to the shipwreck of the Sea Venture in 1609, which was a boat funded by the Virginia Company of London.
