| '''Liege Island''' is an island, 9 nautical miles long and 3 nautical miles wide, in the [[Palmer Archipelago]], off [[Graham Land]] in the [[British Antarctic Territory]]. It lies immediately northeast of [[Brabant Island]] and is separated from [[Hoseason Island]] and [[Christiania Islands]] to the northeast by [[Croker Passage]]. Its interior is occupied by [[Brugmann Mountains]].

| The island was charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (1897–1899) under Adrien de Gerlache, who named it for the Province of Liège in Belgium.<ref>[https://data.aad.gov.au/aadc/gaz/scar/display_name.cfm?gaz_id=128015 Liège Island.] SCAR Composite Antarctic Gazetteer.</ref>
