Santa Cruz del Islote (English: Santa Cruz Islet) is an island located off the coast of Colombia. It is a part of the Archipelago of San Bernardo. Its significant population compared with its small size results in its being the most densely populated island on Earth.

It can be accessed by a ferry ride from the port of Tolu. The residents have to use neighboring islands as cemetery and recreation grounds, while the residents work on the mainland instead of on the island. The students attend school on the neighboring mainland. The Mucura Island Hotels are a prime source of work for the residents.
