The Moureaux Islands are two islands and their off-lying rocks in the north-east of Flandres Bay, on the Danco Coast of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory.
The islands were charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition on 11 February 1898, when a landing was made on one of the islands; named Îles Moureaux probably after T. Moureaux (after whom Moureaux Point is named). The name 'Moureaux Island' has been used to refer to the larger of the two islands. The islands were photographed from the air by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition in 1956-1957.
