Nusa Lembongan is an island southeast of Bali, Indonesia. Administratively, the island is a subdistrict of Klungkung regency. Nusa Lembongan is one of three small islands close together the others being: Nusa Penida and Nusa Ceningan. The Badung Strait separates these three islands from Bali. Nusa Lembongan is the only one of the 3 to have any tourist infrastructure and is a popular side destination for visitors to Bali.

Nusa Lembongan is approximately 8 square kilometres in size. The economy is largely tourism-based but there is basic subsistence agriculture and fishing on the island and a thriving seaweed farming micro-industry.
