Kuraman Island or Keraman Island (Malay: Pulau Kuraman), formerly named as Mompracem, is an island located within the Labuan Federal Territory of Malaysia on the northern mouth of Brunei Bay. It is one of the six Labuan islands, apart from Burung, Daat, Papan, Great Rusukan, and Little Rusukan. With a size of 1.47 square kilometres (0.57 sq mi), it forms part of the Labuan Marine Park together with the latter two islands of Great Rusukan and Little Rusukan.
The island has two main beaches and is noted for its fishing, wreck diving site, long sand spit and pleasant tropical island atmosphere. The interior is forested with a range of timbers and contains cleared paths for jungle walks. In recent years, large storms have contributed to increased erosion resulting in several areas of vegetation and numerous buildings being washed into the sea.
