Proud Island ({{Coord|54|0|S|38|8|W||display=inline,title}}) is a small, relatively high, tussock-covered island, rising to a peak at its northern end, lying at the east end of the Willis Islands at South Georgia. It was roughly mapped by Discovery Investigations personnel in 1960-61. The name was given in 1963 by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) and is descriptive, the expression "standing proud" in naval parlance being the equivalent of "sticking up."
