Culebra, officially Isla de Culebra (Spanish pronunciation: [kuˈleβɾa], "Snake Island"), is an island and municipality of Puerto Rico, comprising the Spanish Virgin Islands together with Vieques. Located about 17 miles (27 km) east of the main island of Puerto Rico, it is 9 miles (14 km) northeast of Vieques and 12 miles (19 km) west of Saint Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Culebra is spread over 5 barrios and Culebra Pueblo, its historic and administrative center. Residents of the island are known as culebrenses. With a population of 1,792 as of the 2020 Census, it is the least populous municipality in Puerto Rico.

Originally called Isla del Pasaje and Isla de San Ildefonso, Culebra is also known as Isla Chiquita ("Little Island"), Cuna del Sol Borincano ("Cradle of the Puerto Rican Sun") and Última Virgen ("Last Virgin", due to its position at the end of the Virgin Islands archipelago).
