Taylor Island, also known as Taylor's Island, is the largest in a group of seven islands located between the Eyre Peninsula mainland and Thistle Island in the mouth of Spencer Gulf, South Australia. Taylor's Island has been used principally for the grazing of sheep, while its surrounding waters are well regarded fishing grounds.
