Hoatsin Island (Bulgarian: остров Хоацин, romanized: ostrov Hoatsin, IPA: [ˈɔstrof hoɐˈt͡sin]) is the mostly ice-free island 795 m long in southeast–northwest direction and 360 m wide in the Dannebrog Islands group of Wilhelm Archipelago in the Antarctic Peninsula region. Its surface area is 16.85 ha.
The feature is so named because of its shape supposedly resembling a hoatzin bird ('hoatsin' in Bulgarian), and in association with other descriptive names of islands in the area.
