Ilhéu Grande is an uninhabited island of Cape Verde. It is the largest of the Ilhéus Secos islet group, located 4 km west of Ilhéu de Cima, the other main islet of the group, and 7 km north of the island Brava. They are administratively a part of the Brava municipality.

The islet is a volcanic seamount and features rocky coastlines. It is mostly barren but has some scattered vegetation.[1] Its length is around 2.3 km from southwest to northeast and the width is approximately 1.1 km from southeast to northwest. The island is an integral nature reserve.[2]
