Islandmore is an island within Strangford Lough in County Down, along the western side of the lough. It is one of the lough's larger islands, at 122 acres, with a single farmhouse and jetty; in 1841 a population of 18 was recorded.

The mainland of County Down is just a few hundred yards off the island's western shore, and has a landing stage at Ringhaddy.
