Snubbin Island lies to the west of Pickwick Island, the largest of the Pitt Islands, a group within the Biscoe Islands group in the British Antarctic Territory.
The island was charted and named following air photography by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition in 1956.
As with other names amongst the Pitt Islands, this island is named after character in the Pickwick Papers; after Mr Serjeant Snubbin, counsel for Mr Pickwick in the case of Bardell v Pickwick.
