设德兰（英語：Shetland，/ˈʃɛtlənd/；蘇格蘭蓋爾語：Sealtainn；古诺尔斯语：Hjaltland）是大不列颠岛以北的群岛，英国领土的最北端，距离丹麦自治领地法罗群岛280公里（170英里）。它也是苏格兰32个一级行政区之一。 设得兰群岛西为大西洋，东为北海，南距奥克尼群岛和苏格兰本土200余公里，由约100个岛屿组成，总面积1466平方公里。诸岛之中仅有15个居住有人，最大岛屿通称为设得兰主岛。总人口21990人（2001年）。 据考证，设德兰群岛至少从公元前3000年就有人类活动。罗马帝国时期以后的数百年间，维京人基本完全控制了群岛。但是苏格兰对于它和奥克尼群岛的影响也逐渐扩大。15世纪，挪威国王将群岛典当给了苏格兰王国以获得经济支持，从此群岛正式归入苏格兰版图。 现在群岛的主要经济来源是渔业和北海海底的石油。岛内有一个飞机场，通航苏格兰各机场和法罗群岛。群岛主要交通是渡船，通航阿伯丁、挪威、丹麦、法罗群岛和冰岛。昔德蘭矮種馬起源於此地。
