Kamera Island (Bulgarian: остров Камера, romanized: ostrov Kamera) is the mostly ice-covered island 778 m long in southwest–northeast direction and 278 m wide in the Vedel Islands group of Wilhelm Archipelago in the Antarctic Peninsula region. Its surface area is 10.75 ha.
The feature is so named because of its shape supposedly resembling a TV camera ('kamera' in Bulgarian), and in association with other descriptive names of islands in the area.
