Beagle Island is one of the Danger Islands, a cluster of islets off Joinville Island, off the northern tip of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory.
This island was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1953-54 and 1958-61. It was named in association with Darwin Island, after HMS Beagle, in which Darwin sailed around the world, 1831-36.
