Chauve Souris is an island in Seychelles, lying 400 m northeast of the island of Praslin. Another nearby island - Saint-Pierre Island is located immediately in the north. The island is a granite island covered with tropical forest. Fauna is limited to the likes of skinks, geckos and limited birdlife that chiefly use the island as a roost.

The island is privately owned. Chauve Souris Island has a small resort: Club Vacanze Seychelles.^[1][2] There is also a Chauve Souris island near the western coast of the island of Mahé.

Today, the island's main industry is tourism.
