Ilha Comprida (Portuguese for "Long Island") is a municipality in the state of São Paulo in Brazil. Stretching southwest along the Atlantic coast of the state, it is coextensive with the barrier island of Ilha Comprida, the longest of its kind in the state ({{convert|74|km|disp=sqbr}}). The municipality was founded in 1993 after the merger of the parts of Ilha Comprida that belonged to the city of Cananéia with the sections of the island that were administered by the city of Iguape.[https://cod.ibge.gov.br/B3ZM IBGE], history

The Ilha Comprida has an average annual temperature of 24 °C. The population is 13,419 (2022) in an area of 196.567km².[https://cod.ibge.gov.br/23558 Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística] The island is covered by the Ilha Comprida Environmental Protection Area, which defines zoning and allowable land use in an effort to reduce environmental damage from human occupation.{{citation |title=A criação da APA de Ilha Comprida e seus desdobramentos no atual processo de desenvolvimento local

It preserves the last dunes in the state.{{Cite web |date=2021-10-22 |title=Ilha Comprida guarda mistérios e as últimas dunas do Estado de SP |url=https://g1.globo.com/sp/campinas-regiao/terra-da-gente/noticia/2021/10/22/ilha-comprida-guarda-misterios-e-as-ultimas-dunas-do-estado-de-sp.ghtml |access-date=2024-02-11 |website=G1 |language=pt-br}}
