Khiprianwala Island (Urdu: جزیرہ خپریانوالہ; Sindhi: ڪپريانوالا ٻيٽ) is an island located in the Arabian Sea off the coast of Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.

The island lies south of Korangi and Ibrahim Hyderi, bordering Bundal and Buddo Islands at the fringes of the Indus River Delta. Khiprianwala exhibits sparse mangrove vegetation, predominantly Avicennia marina, alongside mud banks and swamps typical of the tropical coastal ecosystem.

Efforts are being made to protect the island as its natural environment is increasingly disturbed and exploited.
