Vingt-Cinq (French for 'twenty-five') is the capital of the Agaléga Islands, two islands in the Indian Ocean, governed by Mauritius.
== Location == It is located on the North Island, near a small airfield. In the town, there is a primary school (Jacques Le Chartier Government School) and a hospital. The name, Vingt-Cinq, is believed to refer to the number of lashes that slaves on the island received as punishment.
