The Eagle Islands are a group of two islands on the central-western rim of the Great Chagos Bank, the world's largest coral atoll structure, in the British Indian Ocean Territory.
The islands are:
- Eagle Island, also known in the French patois of its former inhabitants as Île Aigle
- Sea Cow Island, known in French as Île Vache Marine
Eagle Island itself is the largest island on the Bank, and the second largest in the Chagos Archipelago, exceeded only by Diego Garcia. The islands are uninhabited and now part of the world's largest marine nature reserve.
