Treasure Island is a city on the gulf coast of Pinellas County, in the US state of Florida. The city is comprised of several barrier islands bounded by the Gulf of Mexico and/or Boca Ciega Bay, as well as Johns Pass to the north, and Blind Pass to the south. Neighboring municipalities include the cities of Madeira Beach, St. Pete Beach, and St. Petersburg.

Other than the main island of Treasure Island, the city boundaries encompass the smaller Isle of Capri, Isle of Palms, and Paradise Island, as well as Eleanor Island, which is undeveloped and reserved as a bird sanctuary.
