Peros Banhos
Location of Peros Banhos Atoll in the Indian Ocean

Peros Banhos, Pedro dos Banhos or Baixos de Pêro dos Banhos in old maps, is an inhabited atoll in the Chagos Archipelago. It had been uninhabited from the expulsion of the Chagossians in 1971 until a group of four Chagossians returned to establish a settlement in 2026 on the Île du Coin.

Île Yeye, located at the northeastern corner of the atoll, is the island of the Chagos Archipelago that is closest to the Maldives.
