Perak Island (Malay: Pulau Perak, Jawi: ڤولاو ڤيراق) is a small rocky island which constitutes the westernmost extremity of Malaysian territory. Its diameter is around 200 meters. The island is a sandstone rock that rises from the Strait of Malacca. It has a steep cliff with a height of more than 100m.

Perak Island is part of the Malaysian state of Kedah, administered under Yan District.[1] It is expected to be designated as a marine protected area.[2] The island is 158 km northwest of Penang, the nearest metropolitan area.

In March 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared off the Malaysian radar near the island.[3][4]

On 25 July 2022, Sultan Sallehuddin of Kedah declared Perak Island as the new reference point for Islamic Calendar calculation, replacing Tanjung Chinchin in Langkawi.[5]
