Aspis Island is a small, low-lying, ice-free island rising to {{convert|15|m}}, easternmost in the Dunbar group off the northwest coast of Varna Peninsula, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica.

The feature is named after the Aspis, a small musical dragon, often portrayed in medieval literature.
