The Hummock Island Group is a string of islands in King George Bay, which deeply indents the west side of West Falkland, in the Falkland Islands. They were formerly part of the New Island sheep farm.
The largest of the isles is Hummock Island, a cliff-bound isle nearly two and a half miles long and running in a north-west to south-east direction. It rises to a distinctive peak of 623 feet, looming like a gigantic breaking wave towards the north-east.
The named islands in the group are:
- Hummock Island
- Rabbit Island (three miles north-west of Hummock and three and a half miles west of Roy Cove)
- Middle Island (a small, conical island; declared a wild animal and bird sanctuary in 1966)
- Green Island (the smallest of the group; half a mile offshore
- Gid's Island
