Klamer Island (Bulgarian: остров Кламер, romanized: ostrov Klamer) is the rocky island 520 m long in southwest–northeast direction and 150 m wide in the Vedel Islands group of Wilhelm Archipelago in the Antarctic Peninsula region. Its surface area is 5.61 ha.
The feature is so named because of its shape supposedly resembling a paper clip ('klamer' in Bulgarian), and in association with other descriptive names of islands in the area.
