Pine Island is a small city of about 3,500 residents in Goodhue and Olmsted counties in the U.S. state of Minnesota. Most of Pine Island is in Goodhue County, but a small part extends into Olmsted County, making that portion part of the Rochester metropolitan area.

The community has a strong agricultural base, but has been transitioning over time into a bedroom community for nearby Rochester, which employs many local residents. Large development is planned for the Olmsted County side as it becomes a Rochester suburb, including the Elk Run Bioscience Park and Minnesota's first diverging diamond interchange.
