'''Breaker Island''' is a small rocky island lying in Arthur Harbour close south-west of Norsel Point, off the south-west coast of Anvers Island in the Palmer Archipelago of Antarctica. It was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1955 and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) because the island causes breakers when the sea is rough.

==Birds== The island formed part of the Northern Arthur Harbour Important Bird Area (IBA) number 013, identified as such by BirdLife International because it supports significant seabird breeding colonies.<ref name=bli>{{cite web |url= https://www.birdlife.org |title= Northern Arthur Harbour area|accessdate=2013-01-11 |work= BirdLife data zone: Important Bird Areas |first= |last= |publisher= BirdLife International |year= 2013}}</ref> The Arthur Harbour IBA was delisted in 2015.<ref name="ats">{{cite web|url=https://documents.ats.aq/ATCM38/att/atcm38_att097_e.pdf|title=Important Bird Areas in Antarctica 2015 Summary|website=Secretariat of the Antarctic Treaty Website|accessdate=2019-05-11}}</ref>
