Pulau Kukus is a small island in Langkawi. It is located in Selat Dayang Bunting, off the western shore of Pulau Dayang Bunting. You will pass by it on your approach to Teluk Dayang Bunting when you go on island-hopping trips to visit Tasik Dayang Bunting. Pulau Kukus is the island after Pulau Batu Merah. As with the former, it is uninhabited with no proper landing place.

The word "kukus" means to steam in Malay. It is not known how the island was given this name.
