Anonyme Island is a small granitic island (0.1 km) in the Seychelles, lying 700 m off the east coast of Mahé, near the runway of the Seychelles International Airport.

The island was named after a 180-ton sailing ship of the same name, which carried supplies between Mauritius and Réunion in the 17th century. Amid numerous ghost stories and tales of fabulous buried treasure, Anonyme plays a colorful role in the folklore of the islands that belies its small size. Once owned by the St Jorre family who were among Seychelles' earliest settlers, Anonyme was destined to play an important role in the construction of the international airport on Mahé, becoming the chosen location for the storage of the explosives needed to accomplish the task.

The staff quarters are at the northern part of the island. Currently, the Warden and his wife are the only tenants.

The island belongs to Pointe La Rue District. Being an island with a small population, there are not any government buildings or services. For many services, people have to go to Victoria.

Today, the island's main industry is tourism, and it is known for its beaches, especially Anse pimen vert, on the east coast where there is a small restaurant. Anonyme island is a privately owned resort with seven chalets

The main means of transportation is bicycles.

Fish is the main ingredient.
