For the Keppel Islands of Australia, including Great Keppel Island, see Keppel Bay Islands National Park



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.
