Earle 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.
It is the south-westernmost of the Danger Islands. It was named following hydrographic work in the area from HMS Endurance in 1977-78: it was named after Augustus Earle (b.c.1790), artist in HMS Beagle, in association with Beagle Island and other names in the group.
