Kundziņsala is a neighbourhood of Riga in Latvia, located on an island fully enclaved within the Daugava River in Freeport. The neighbourhood is administratively part of Riga's Northern District. Kundziņsala is the largest island in Riga. It is mainly covered by an industrial area related to maritime trade. With just 358 residents (As of 2021), it combines the character of a small rural community with the pressures of adjacent industrial port operations, resulting in a strong local identity shaped by both its natural setting and environmental challenges.
