Glen Island is a large area of land between the head of the Jubilee River and the River Thames at Boulter's Lock between Maidenhead and Taplow. The county border between Berkshire and Buckinghamshire passes through the island.

The Grade-II listed Glen Island House, a riverside Gentleman's residence (now offices for a paper mill), was built in 1869 for Lt Gen. Sir Roger Palmer, 5th Baronet (d.1910), a landowner who took part in the Charge of the Light Brigade.
