拉奈島(夏威夷语:Lānaʻi 夏威夷語:[laːˈnɐʔi, naːˈnɐʔi],英語:Lanai /lɑːˈnaɪ, ləˈnɑːi/)是夏威夷群島的第六大島,也是其中有公共交通可達的最小的有人定居的島嶼[1]。由於過去它有著全島範圍的鳳梨種植園,因此俗稱鳳梨島[2]。島上唯一的城市是拉奈市。

拉奈島是一個大致呈撇號形狀的島,沿最長方向的寬度為29公里(18英里)。土地面積為364平方公里(141平方英里),是美國第42大島[3]。它的北面隔著海峽與摩洛凱島相望,東邊則是茂宜島。它的總人口從2000年人口普查的3,193人[4],減少到2010年的3,131人[5][6]。
2012年6月,甲骨文公司創辦人拉里·埃里森以5至6億美元買下拉奈島98%的土地所有權[7]。其餘2%土地則仍屬於夏威夷州政府和部分私人住宅擁有者[8][9]。
拉奈島上有一所學校,包含從幼兒園到12年級。拉奈市有一家醫院,有24張病床,還有一個社區保健中心,提供初級保健、牙科、行為健康和專業服務[10][11]。全島沒有紅綠燈。

At a public meeting on Lanai last year, an Ellison representative explained that his boss wasn’t drawn to the island by the potential for profits but by the potential for a great accomplishment — the satisfaction one day of having made the place work. For Ellison, it seemed, Lanai was less like an investment than like a classic car, up on blocks in the middle of the Pacific, that he had become obsessed with restoring. He wants to transform it into a premier tourist destination and what he has called “the first economically viable, 100 percent green community”: an innovative, self-sufficient dreamscape of renewable energy, electric cars and sustainable agriculture.
