Île de la Passe is a small coral island in the north of the Salomon Islands, an atoll of numerous islets in the north of the British Indian Ocean Territory. It lies at the north-east corner of the atoll, in the mouth of the sea passage into the lagoon, from which position it received its name.
Like most of the smaller Chagos Islands, it is named in French, having been first charted by the French before the archipelago passed to British rule during the Napoleonic Wars.
