Ilhéu Branco (Portuguese for "white islet") is an islet in the Barlavento group of islands of Cape Verde archipelago. Branco is flanked by Santa Luzia in the northwest and by Raso island in the southeast.
It is uninhabited except by birds and is known for its guano and surrounding marine life. It is also one of only two islands where the Cape Verde Giant Skink was observed to reside, and was formerly a home to the critically endangered Raso Lark.
