Sanday is one of the Small Isles, in the Scottish Inner Hebrides. It is a tidal island linked to Canna, and also connected to the larger island by a bridge. Canna and Sanday form a single community, and are usually described as Canna.

Like its neighbour, Canna, the whole island is owned by the National Trust for Scotland, and is part of the Lochaber committee area of Highland Council.

A small primary school on Sanday serves the communities of both islands, and currently - as of the year 2006-07 - educates a single student. The footbridge to the island was built in 1905 to allow pupils from Canna to reach the school regardless of the state of the tide. This bridge was destroyed in storms during 2005, and has been replaced by a road bridge which was completed in April 2006.
