Lindholm is a small Danish uninhabited[1] island located in Stege Bugt. Lindholm covers an area of 0.07 square kilometres (0.027 sq mi).[2]

Until 2018 the island housed a field station belonging to the veterinary institute of the Technical University of Denmark.[3] Starting in 1938 a vaccine against foot-and-mouth disease was produced on the island.[4]

The Danish government considered but eventually shelved a plan to house, on the island, unsuccessful applicants for asylum with criminal records who could not otherwise be deported.[5]
