Bager Island (Bulgarian: остров Багер, romanized: ostrov Bager) is the rocky island 963 m long in west–east direction and 373 m wide in the Vedel Islands group of Wilhelm Archipelago in the Antarctic Peninsula region. Its surface area is 21 ha.
The feature is so named because of its shape supposedly resembling an excavator (‘bager' in Bulgarian), and in association with other descriptive names of islands in the area.
