The Finlayson Islands are a string of Canadian arctic islands in Nunavut, Canada. The group lies in Dease Strait, approximately {{convert|12|mi|abbr=on}} from Cape Alexander, south of Victoria Island and north of the mainland's Kent Peninsula.[1] The community of Cambridge Bay is approximately {{convert|23|mi|abbr=on}} to the east.[2]

An early survey was made by Sir Richard Collinson on board the Enterprise during his search for Sir John Franklin's lost expedition. Collinson noted the islands to be a basalt ridge running south/southeast. The largest measures {{convert|2|sqmi|abbr=on|2}} long by {{convert|.75|sqmi|abbr=on|2}} wide.[3]

Colonies of Thayer's gull and glaucous gull are located on one of the larger islands.[4]
