Dinea Island (Bulgarian: остров Динея, romanized: ostrov Dinea, IPA: [ˈɔstrov dinɛjɐ]) is the flat rocky island off the north coast of Greenwich Island in the South Shetland Islands extending 290 m in north-northwest to south-southeast direction and 130 m wide. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.

The island is named after the ancient Roman fortress of Dinea in Northeastern Bulgaria.
