Hayling Island is an island off the south coast of England, in the borough of Havant in the county of Hampshire, east of Portsmouth. 

Hayling Island is a true island, completely surrounded by sea. Looking at its north to south orientation, it is shaped like an inverted T, about 6.5 km (4 miles) long and 6.5 km (4 miles) wide. A road bridge connects its northern end to the mainland of England at Langstone. The Hayling Ferry is a small pedestrian ferry connecting to the Eastney area of the city of Portsmouth on the neighbouring Portsea Island. To the west is Langstone Harbour and to the east is Chichester Harbour.

Although largely residential, Hayling is also a holiday, windsurfing and sailing centre, the site where windsurfing was invented.
