'''Lagoon Island''' is the northernmost of the [[Léonie Islands]], lying in the entrance to [[Ryder Bay]] on the southeast side of [[Adelaide Island]], Antarctica. It was discovered by the [[French Antarctic Expedition, 1908–10]], under [[Jean-Baptiste Charcot]]. The island was charted by the [[British Graham Land Expedition]] under [[John Rymill]] in February 1936 and was so named because with the island on its west side it forms a [[lagoon]].<ref name=gnis/>
