Robbins Island is a small island in the south-westerly group of the Joubin Islands, off the south-west point of Anvers Island in the Palmer Archipelago of the British Antarctic Territory.
Following the work of United States Antarctic Research Program personnel from "Palmer Station" from 1965, this island was named after Stephen H. Robbins, Jr, Able Seaman in the American vessel RV Hero on her first Antarctic voyage, visiting Palmer Station in 1968.
