Nabih Saleh (Arabic: النبيه صالح‎) is an island of Bahrain in Persian Gulf. It lies in the Tubli Bay, east of Bahrain Island. It is connected to Bahrain Island and Sitra through the Sitra Causeway. This island originally, like Sitra, was covered with Farms and date palm groves, but now it suffers from mass deforestation. Most of the population is Shia Baharna.

The island is named after a Shia Muslim scholar, Shaikh Saleh who used to reside there. His grave on the island is visited by hundreds of devotees in the region each day.
