Green Island is a coterminous town-village in Albany County, New York, United States, some 8 miles (13 km) north of Albany. Green Island is one of only five such town-village amalgamations in New York. The population was 2,934 at the 2020 census, and the ZIP code is 12183. While the town of Green Island was once an island, it was connected to the mainland on the west side of the Hudson River in the 1960s.

Green Island is also the smallest town, by area, in New York, covering 0.7 square miles (1.8 km²); by contrast, the largest towns in the state by area are Brookhaven, which covers an area of 531.5 square miles (1,377 km²) (though much of that is water), and Webb, which has the largest land area at 483 square miles (1,250 km²).^{[citation needed]}
