Gweal is one of the uninhabited islands of the Isles of Scilly, Cornwall. It is the largest of the seven Norrard Rocks due west of Bryher.
The island's name is from the Cornish Gwithial, meaning place of trees, a name which perhaps refers back to a time before most of the islands' area was inundated.
