}}Bernier Island is one of three islands that comprise the Bernier and Dorre Island Nature Reserve in the Shark Bay World Heritage area in Western Australia.[1]

It was a hospital location in the early 1900s.[2][3]

It is located at the north-western corner of the World Heritage area, almost due west of Carnarvon, Western Australia. The {{convert|2.6|ha|acre|0}} Koks Island is offshore from the lighthouse at its northern end. It is separated from Dorre Island to its south by a {{convert|500|m|ft|0}} gap with a depth of {{convert|4|m|ft|abbr=on}}.

The island is home to one of the few remaining colonies of the Banded Hare-wallaby (Lagostrophus fasciatus)[4] and the endangered Shark Bay mouse of which there is an estimated 5,000 to 9,000 individuals.[5]
