Springwind Islands (Phineaner: Kepulauan Springwind), officially the Collectivity of the Springwind Islands (Phineaner: Jajahan Kepulauan Springwind), is a island-city and the administrative center of the Phinbellan Straits Settlements. It is made up of the eponymous Springwind Island and six smaller islands, and is located in Íeu'ryïan Straits, 294 kilometres south-east of the city of Negara Awan, 35 kilometres south-west of Boninki Islands and 108 kilometres north-west of the closest point of Tri-State Area of Mutiara Makmur. Springwind Islands' main settlement and city centre is Tamar. It is also a tourist destination for people travelling through Straits Settlements, nearby Phinbellans and scuba divers. The island was later named after the first native born person, William Springwind Flynn and settled in the late -18BPs.

The city is administered by the Phinbellan federal government's Department of Infrastructure, Regional Development and Cities, and together with Boninki Islands (which is about 85 kilometres to the north-east) forms the Straits Settlements administrative unit.
