Serranilla Bank (Spanish: Isla Serranilla or Banco Serranilla) is a partially submerged reef, with small uninhabited islets, in the western Caribbean Sea. It is situated about 350 kilometres (217 miles) northeast of Punta Gorda, Nicaragua, and roughly 280 kilometres (170 miles) southwest of Jamaica. The closest neighbouring land feature is Bajo Nuevo Bank, located 110 km to the east.
Serranilla Bank was first shown on Spanish maps in 1510. It is administered by Colombia as part of the department of San Andrés and Providencia. Although the bank is currently occupied by Colombia, it is subject to a sovereignty dispute involving Honduras, Nicaragua and the United States.
