Tobias Island (Greenlandic: Tuppiap Qeqertaa, Danish: Tobias Ø) is a small island off the northeastern coast of Greenland.

The island was named in honour of Greenlandic dogsled expert Tobias Gabrielsen who went with Johan Peter Koch and Aage Bertelsen to map the unknown eastern coast of Peary Land to the southeast of Cape Bridgman during the Denmark expedition 1906–1908, while Ludvig Mylius-Erichsen's ill-fated team went west to map the Independence Fjord.
