Revolver Island (Bulgarian: остров Револвер, romanized: ostrov Revolver, IPA: [ˈɔstrof rɛˈvɔɫvɛr]) is the partly ice-free island 645 m long in southwest–northeast direction and 284 m wide in the Dannebrog Islands group of Wilhelm Archipelago in the Antarctic Peninsula region. Its surface area is 8.77 ha.

The feature is so named because of its shape supposedly resembling a revolver handgun, and in association with other descriptive names of islands in the area.
