'''Sandray''' ({{langx|gd|Sanndraigh}}) is one of the [[Barra Isles]] in the [[Outer Hebrides]] of [[Scotland]].  It never had a large population, and has been uninhabited since 1934.  It is now known for its large [[seabird]] colony.

==Geography==
Sandray is half a mile due south of [[Vatersay]], and east of [[Flodday near Vatersay|Flodaigh]], north east of [[Lingeigh]] and [[Pabbay, Barra, Scotland|Pabaigh]]. Maol Domhnaigh/[[Muldoanich]] is to the north east of it. There are three main peninsulas on the south end of Sandray, they are called Meanish, Leehinish and Rubha Pabbach.
