Filladhoo (Dhivehi: ފިއްލަދޫ) is one of the inhabited islands of Haa Alif Atoll and geographically part of Thiladhummathi Atoll in the north of the Maldives. It is an island-level administrative constituency governed by the Filladhoo Island Council.

The island is 300.42 km (187 mi; 162 nmi) north of the country's capital, Malé.^[2] This island lies on a large reef and it has a large sandy projection that stretches northwards to Dhapparu, formerly a separate island.

Haa Alifu Atoll, along with the adjacent reef waters, forms a 6,000 ha Important Bird Area (IBA), designated as such by BirdLife International because it supports a population of some 15,000 lesser noddies, as estimated in 2001.^[3]

Madhrasathul Sobaah is the Government school in Filladhoo, providing primary and secondary education for the island. Established in 1998, it now has around 130 students.

The island has a health center providing basic health facilities.
