Huahine Island is one of French Polynesia's Society Islands - a French overseas territory in the Pacific Ocean. Huahine is part of Leeward Islands group and has population around 6,000.

The island has length of 16 km (10 mi) and max width of 13 km (8 mi). It covers a total area of approx 75 km2 (29 mi2) and consists of two main isles surrounded by a coral reef with several smaller islets. Big Huahine (Huahine Nui) is the northern one, and Little Huahine (Huahine Iti) is the southern. The two are divided by a few hundred yards of water. They are naturally linked via a sandspit at low tide. A bridge was later built to connect both Huahine islands.

The brackish lake Lac Maeva (Lac Fauna Nui) is in Huahine Nui's northwestern part. The lake is all that remains of ancient atoll lagoon. Huahine's Fare Airport is located on the big island's northern shore. The municipality consists of the following sub-municipalities: Fare, Faie, Fitii, Haapu, Maroe, Maeva, Tefarerii, Parea. Its administrative centre is Fare, located on (Big) Huahine Nui.
