Super Adventure Island (高橋名人の大冒険島, Takahashi Meijin no Daibōken Jima; "Master Takahashi's Great Adventure Island") is a 1992 platform game developed by Produce! and published by Hudson Soft for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It was the first Adventure Island game released for the SNES and came out between the releases of the NES games Adventure Island II and Adventure Island 3. It was later followed by Super Adventure Island II. The game's soundtrack was composed by Yuzo Koshiro.

An unrelated game with the same name was released for mobile phones in 2004. This version of Super Adventure Island is a remake of Wonder Boy: Monster Land, which was previously ported to the PC Engine by Hudson as Bikkuriman World.
