Sacca San Biagio is an island in the Venetian Lagoon which, like other "sacche" (Sacca Sessola, Sacca Fisola, etc.), is an artificial island built between the 1920s and the 1950s from trash. It is immediately to the west of Sacca Fisola, to which it is connected by a bridge.

It hosted an trash incinerator from 1973 to 1985. It is now being improved, with proposals for a theme park and cultural center.[1]
