天宁岛（Tinian），又譯作提尼安岛，位于马里亚纳群岛南部，临近塞班岛。出名是因为二战中美国投向廣島和長崎的两颗原子弹都是从这里装载起飞的。现在岛上留有当时安放原子弹的铁架等遗蹟。


原来该岛并不是旅游热点。除少数二战迷外，鲜有人知道这地方。但从1998年由华人詹壽全投资建造的天宁皇朝酒店和赌场落成后情况就大不相同了。赌场还投巨资改造了岛上的机场和游船码头，购买了气垫游艇往返塞班岛。现在天宁岛号称太平洋上的拉斯维加斯。


島上的天寧機場占地面积为800公顷，可供波音727及737客机升降。在2002年7月完成现有机场改建工程后，可供波音747大型客机升降。至於北方的North Field機場原是日本在戰前所建，美軍佔領天寧島後擴大建設成為起降B-29的基地，也是原子彈裝載的地點，擴建完成之時是當時全世界最大的空軍基地，不過自1947年關閉之後就漸漸荒廢，但在日本國內爭議普天間基地遷移問題時，一度成為美軍替代的考量方案，2013年美國海軍陸戰隊曾經小幅度整修North Field的跑道作為演習使用，一架KC-130J成了1947年基地關閉之後第二架起降的飛機。


天宁岛也是美国自由亚洲电台的短波发射台之一，单机发射功率250千瓦，主要向中国、朝鲜、越南等国广播。
