Molène (Breton: Molenez: 'bald island') is a French island off the west coast of Finistere, Brittany and a member of the Ponant Islands. It is largest member of an archipelago of some twenty islands.

Together with several neighbouring islets, it forms the commune of Île-Molène. The island is small, less than 1 by 0.9 km, and has an area of 75 hectares. Its population has declined in recent decades, but Molène remains inhabited, with a population of 277 (2005 census). The community and only port are located to the east of the island, opposite a small island called the Lédénes of Molène that becomes connected at low tide.

Inhabitants of Île-Molène are called Molénais.

The island's electricity is produced by a small diesel generator. Potable water supplies are from rainwater catchment, with each household additionally maintaining its own cistern.

A local delicacy is Molène sausage, which has the distinction of being smoked with seaweed.
