Langlade Island, also referred to by foreigners as "Little Miquelon", is an island of the French overseas collectivity of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon and forms the southern part of the commune of Miquelon-Langlade.
In the North Atlantic, lying just to the west of Newfoundland's Burin Peninsula, Langlade covers a total of 35 square miles (91 km²) and is linked to Miquelon Island by an 8-mile (12 km) sandy isthmus called La Dune which was formed in the late 18th century.
Some 3 mi (4.8 km) west of Saint Pierre Island, Langlade is an ancient peneplain drained by numerous short rivers, including the Belle, the largest, which flows to the northwest. The coast of Langlade is lined with steep cliffs, except to the northwest.
At Anse du Gouvernement, as of 2024, there is a bar, a ferry station, a grocery store, a health care point, a restaurant, a Roman Catholic chapel, and the Centre de vacances de Langlade summer camp.
Langlade's only year-round inhabitant, Charles Lafitte, died in 2006, having lived there as a hermit for many years with his dogs. However, Langlade is a summer retreat for many inhabitants of Saint-Pierre. In the summer, its population can swell to more than one thousand.
