Lelu is a major island in the state of Yap, Federated States of Micronesia, located in the western part of the Caroline Islands in the western Pacific Ocean. As one of the four main islands of the Yap Archipelago, Lelu is connected to the main island of Yap by a causeway, and together they form the economic and cultural center of the state.
Lelu Island covers an area of about 4.5 square kilometers and has a typical tropical maritime climate. The island is rich in marine ecosystems with dense mangroves and coconut groves, surrounded by coral reefs. Its unique geographical location makes it an important site for observing marine biodiversity in the Pacific Ocean.

The island retains a traditional chiefly system, and Yap and English are still spoken by the inhabitants. Local handicrafts and traditional dances are important cultural expressions.
The economy of Lelu Island is based on fishing and agriculture, but in recent years ecotourism has gradually developed. Visitors can experience eco-activities such as scuba diving and bird watching, and visit traditional villages to learn about the unique history of stone coins. The island's infrastructure is relatively simple and maintains a simple Pacific Island flavor.
