Fischerinsel (Fisher Island) is a lake island in Germany, in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, in the district of Mecklenburgische Seenplatte, near Neubrandenburg. It is located in the southern part of Lake Tollensesee, in front of the city of Penzlin.

It is a 150-meter-long and 40-meter-wide island, which is today covered with trees. In the middle of the island, at its eastern end, stands a ruined fishing hut from 1729, which was still used in the 1970s. Fishermen who stayed in the Tollensesee lakes and nearby Lieps spent the night there.
