Green Island is a small uninhabited islet about 250 metres north of the Caribbean island of Saba, and is part of the Dutch special municipality of Saba. It measures about 40 by 60 metres.^[1]

The island is used by bridled terns, sooty terns, and brown noddies for breeding.^[2] There was a sulphur mine on the main island across from Green Island. In the 1870s, the two islands were connected by a cable in order to provide access to the mines.^[3] The island is being used as a diving site.^[4]
