Phú Quý is a small island located about 100 km south-east of the city of Phan Thiết, Vietnam. The island contains three communes, with a population of 30,000 people. The island is home to Phu Quy Lighthouse (Hải đăng Phú Quý) situated in the north-west of the island and an abandoned military bunker on the eastern coast.
During French colonial days, the official name of the island was Poulo-Cécir-de-Mer (sometimes written as Pulau Cecir de Mer).
