Skoba Island (Bulgarian: остров Скоба, romanized: ostrov Skoba, IPA: [ˈɔstrof ˈskɔbɐ]) comprises four abutting rocky islets 416 m long in south–north direction and 176 m wide in the Dannebrog Islands group of Wilhelm Archipelago in the Antarctic Peninsula region. Its surface area is 2.8 ha.[1]

The feature is so named because of its shape supposedly resembling a bracket symbol ('skoba' in Bulgarian), and in association with other descriptive names of islands in the area.[1]
