'''Labuan''' ({{IPAc-en|l|ə|ˈ|b|uː|ə|n|}}), officially the '''Federal Territory of Labuan''' ({{langx|ms|Wilayah Persekutuan Labuan}}), is an island [[Federal Territories of Malaysia|federal territory]] of Malaysia. It includes {{em|Labuan Island}} and six smaller islands off the coast of the state of [[Sabah]] in East Malaysia. Labuan's capital is [[Victoria, Labuan|Victoria]], which is best known as an [[offshore financial centre]] offering international financial and business services via [[Labuan IBFC]] since 1990, as well as being an offshore support hub for deepwater oil and gas activities in the region. It is also a tourist destination for people travelling through Sabah, nearby [[Brunei]]ans, and [[Scuba diving|scuba divers]]. The name Labuan derives from the [[Malay language|Malay word]] ''labuhan'', which means "harbour".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.columbia.edu/cu/lweb/digital/collections/cul/texts/ldpd_6769878_000/pages/ldpd_6769878_000_00000209.html|title=Crawfurd, John, A descriptive dictionary of the Indian islands & adjacent countries|publisher=[[Columbia University Libraries]]|date=1856|access-date=29 April 2014|author=Bradbury & Evans|page=203|location=London}}</ref>
