Egg Island is a circular island of the Trinity Peninsula at the tip of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory.
The island is 1.5 nautical miles in diameter and reaching a maximum height of 1,017 feet. It lies one nautical mile west of Tail Island in the northeast part of Prince Gustav Channel.
The island was probably first seen by a party under J. Gunnar Andersson of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901-04. It was charted in 1945 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, who named it 'Egg' because of its relative position to Tail, Eagle and Beak Islands.
