Keppel Island is one of the Falkland Islands, lying between Saunders Island and Pebble Island. It has an area of just under 40 kmē.
The island became a sheep farm in 1885, initially doubling as a missionary settlement aimed at the Yaghan people of Tierra del Fuego. More recently, it became a nature reserve. It also has a small settlement on the east coast.nl:Keppeleiland
