St. Paul's Island, also known as Selmunett, is a small island off Selmun, near the north-east of the main island of Malta.

St. Paul's Island has been uninhabited since World War II, and it is the second largest uninhabited island in Malta, having an area of 0.1 square kilometres. The Acts of the Apostles tell the story of how Paul the Apostle was shipwrecked on an island, which Chapter 28 identifies as Malta, while on his way to Rome to face charges in 60 AD. Traditionally, St. Paul's Bay and St. Paul's Island are identified as the locations of this shipwreck. In 1844, a prominent statue of Saint Paul was erected on the island.
