Pulau Gasing is a small island to the north of Pulau Langkawi, off the coast of Tanjung Rhu. The island is uninhabited and undeveloped. The island is located between Pulau Dangli and Pulau Pasir, among a cluster of small isles and rocky outcrops.

The name of Pulau Gasing comes from the Malay word gasing, which means (spinning) top. So far no clear explanation is available on the etymology of the name.
