Santa Clara Island (Spanish: Isla de Santa Clara; Basque: Santa Klara uhartea) is located in San Sebastian, Spain, in the middle of the bay of Donostia. It is located between the two most important mountains of the city, Urgull and Igueldo.

It measures 400 meters across, and rises to a height of 48 meters, with steep sides.

The island has a small beach which only appears with low tide. There is a small bar and a small port. Despite the small size of the island, the beach has a lifeguard service because of its popularity in the summer. The concrete pier of Santa Clara is served to Donostia by boat, running every 30 minutes.{{Citation needed|date=January 2017}}

The island of Santa Clara is state property, transferred by the state to the commune of San Sebastian under the Decree of October 31, 1968.
