Bransfield Island is an island nearly {{convert|5|nmi|km|0}} long, lying {{convert|3|nmi|km|0}} southwest of D'Urville Island off the northeast end of the Antarctic Peninsula. The name "Point Bransfield", after Edward Bransfield, Master, Royal Navy, was given in 1842 by a British expedition under James Clark Ross to the low western termination of what is now the Joinville Island group. A 1947 survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey determined that this western termination is a separate island.

This is one of several Antarctic islands around the peninsula known as Graham Land, which is closer to South America than any other part of that continent.^[1]
