This is a list of islands in the Greater Manila Area in the Philippines.

There are several small islands located within the Greater Manila Area, particularly along the coast of Manila Bay, both natural and artificial. Many of these islands were formed by the Pasig River delta and consist of sand and mudflats. Artificial islands have been built particularly in Tondo's North Port area, the Navotas fish port area, and the Las Piñas–Parañaque reclamation area.

Historically, the City of Manila consisted of small islands formed by rivulets called esteros.^[1] They include Binondo, formed by the Estero de Binondo and Estero de la Reina, and San Miguel, formed by the Estero de San Miguel and Estero de Sampaloc. The walled district of Intramuros was itself an island surrounded by moats during the Spanish colonial period. Many of these waterways have been filled i over the years due to urbanization.

Near the entrance to Manila Bay is a group of islands, the largest of which is Corregidor. Although administered as part of the province of Cavite, these islands are linked historically to Manila, serving as part of the city's defense system through much of the Spanish and American colonial eras.
