Yastreb Island (Bulgarian: остров Ястреб, romanized: ostrov Yastreb, IPA: [ˈɔstrof ˈjastrɛp]) is the mostly ice-covered island 934 m long in west-southwest to east-northeast direction and 317 m wide in the Dannebrog Islands group of Wilhelm Archipelago in the Antarctic Peninsula region. Its surface area is 17.12 ha.

The feature is so named because of its shape supposedly resembling a hawk ('yastreb' in Bulgarian), and in association with other descriptive names of islands in the area.
