Island province is a province with jurisdictional extent encompassing the whole land area of an island.

Some of the recognizable island provinces are:
- Prince Edward Island in Canada
- Easter Island (Islas de Pascua or Rapa Nui) in Chile
- Hainan in China
- Bali in Indonesia
- Cebu in the Philippines
- Jeju-do in South Korea
