Ilhéu de Santana is an island in the Gulf of Guinea and is one of the smaller islands of São Tomé and Príncipe. The islet is located just off the east coast of the island of São Tomé near the town of Santana in Cantagalo District. Ilhéu de Santana is uninhabited. Since 2012, it is the only island outside Príncipe being part of the Príncipe Biosphere Reserve dominating the marine portions.
During the Ice Age when the sea level was 130 meters lower than the present day, it formed a part of the island of São Tomé and was a hill, thousands of years ago, the hill separated from the island and became a current islet.
