Isla de la Cartuja (Cartuja Island) is an island in the Guadalquivir river in Seville, Spain. When Expo ' 92 was held there the island was connected to the Triana neighbourhood (which is also an island) and is now more of an isthmus.

Today the partially abandoned expo pavilions occupy most of the area and the Spanish one has been turned into a theme park. There is also a large park where Seville's Olympic stadium is situated. Cristopher Columbus planned his voyage to the west in Monasterio de Santa María de las Cuevas in the middle of today's expo area. The island is connected by few bridges on both sides, notably the impressive Alamillo bridge.
