The Island on Bird Street (Hebrew: האי ברחוב הציפורים; The Island on Birds Street) is a 1981 semi-autobiographical children's book by Israeli author Uri Orlev (אורי אורלב), which tells the story of a young boy, Alex, and his struggle to survive alone in a ghetto during World War II.

The author won the 1996 Hans Christian Andersen Award for children's literature, largely for this book, which was translated into numerous languages and adapted into a play and a film.

Alex is an 11-year-old Jewish boy living in a ghetto in German-occupied Poland during World War II with his father and their friend, Boruch.

The only thing he has to pass the time away with is his pet mouse Snow, the novel Robinson Crusoe and other books, and a small air vent grate overlooking the town.

In 1997, the book was made into a feature film starring Jordan Kiziuk, Patrick Bergin and Jack Warden.
