Hernando Island is one of the Discovery Islands near Powell River, British Columbia, Canada.[1] Along with the nearby Cortes Island, it was presumably named in 1792 by Valdés and Galiano after Hernán Cortés, the Spanish conqueror of Mexico.[2]{{rp|240}}

A narrow gauge{{which|date=October 2018}} logging railway operated there in the 1920s. The island is now mostly privately owned by a consortium of larger landowners. In the 1960s the entire island was valued at $55,000.
