Saumarez Island (Spanish: Isla Saumarez) is an island within the Bernardo O'Higgins National Park in the Patagonian Archipelago of southern Chile.[1] The island was named after Admiral James Saumarez during the first voyage of HMS Beagle (1826–1830).[2]

Saumarez Island lies in a shipping channel between the archipelago and the mainland that avoids the open Pacific Ocean: shipping can pass southwards via the Messier Channel and the Paso del Indio [es] (Indian Passage), then round Saumarez Island to Wide Channel.[3]
