Zannone (It. for "Big Fang") is an island in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the west coast of Italy. It is part of the Pontine Islands and belongs administratively to the comune of Ponza. The entire island is about 1 square kilometre (0.4 square miles) in size and about 10 km (6 mi) from Ponza island.
The uninhabited island, home to the Punta Varo Lighthouse, is supervised by the State Forestry Corps, which maintains a station and a small educational exhibit on top of Monte Pellegrino, the highest point on the island.
