    Réunion (; French: La Réunion, [la ʁe.y.njɔ̃] (listen); previously Île Bourbon; Reunionese Creole: La Rényon) is an island in the Indian Ocean that is an overseas department and region of France. It is located approximately 950 km (590 mi) east of the island of Madagascar and 175 km (109 mi) southwest of the island of Mauritius. As of January 2023, it had a population of 873,102.

Réunion is an outermost region of the European Union and is part of the eurozone.

In addition, a majority of the region's population speaks Réunion Creole.
