Patella Island is a small but prominent island, more than 246 feet high, lying two nautical miles north-west of Ambush Bay off the north coast of Joinville Island, an island off the north-east point of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory.
Patella Island was first surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1953. The name is descriptive of the island's shape; Patella is the Latin name for a limpet.
