What is the capital of the Isle of Man?

The capital of the Isle of Man is Douglas.

Douglas is both the Isle of Man’s capital city and its largest settlement. It lies on the island’s east coast around a broad bay, where the River Douglas reaches the sea. The city’s harbour has long supported trade, transport, and tourism, helping make Douglas the island’s main commercial centre.

The Isle of Man is a self-governing Crown Dependency in the Irish Sea, positioned roughly between Great Britain and Ireland. It is not part of the United Kingdom, although the British monarch is its Lord of Mann and the UK is responsible for its defence and international representation. The island has its own parliament, the Tynwald, commonly described as one of the world’s oldest continuously operating parliamentary bodies.

Douglas is sometimes confused with Douglas in the Scottish Highlands or other places sharing the name. On the Isle of Man, the city’s Manx name is Doolish.
