Kalmar Island (Bulgarian: остров Калмар, romanized: ostrov Kalmar, IPA: [ˈɔstrof kɐɫ'mar]) is the mostly ice-covered island 1.12 km long in west-southwest to east-northeast direction and 245 m wide in the Dannebrog Islands group of Wilhelm Archipelago in the Antarctic Peninsula region. Its surface area is 16.15 ha.
The feature is so named because of its shape supposedly resembling a specimen of squid ('kalmar' in Bulgarian), and in association with other descriptive names of islands in the area.
