Star Island is a pill-shaped artificial island in Biscayne Bay between Miami and Miami Beach, Florida and south of the Venetian Islands. It was created by Carl Fisher, co-founder of Miami Beach, and completed in 1922 by the Army Corps of Engineers by dredging sand. It is connected to the MacArthur Causeway and Miami Beach by Bridge Road. There are 35 home sites on the island.

It has been the home of many celebrities since its creation, including Shaquille O'Neal, Will Smith, Gloria Estefan, Rosie O'Donnell, Madonna, and Sylvester Stallone. In a 1979 trial, prosecutors alleged that members of the Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church based a marijuana smuggling ring on the island, in the house now owned by O'Donnell. Some scenes in the 1994 movie The Specialist were filmed here.
