The Crozier Island ( Danish Crozier Ø) is the southernmost of the three islands in the Kennedy Channel, a part of the Naresstraße extending between the Canadian Ellesmere Island and northern Greenland. The other two islands are Franklin Island and Hans Island.

The uninhabited island with no vegetation is around 12 km south-west of Franklin Island, and is only about 4 x 2 kilometers in size. On its southwest side, it rises to a height of 60 m. It belongs politically to Greenland.

The island was named after the British naval officer, born in Ireland, Francis Crozier, the second commander after John Franklin on his expedition 1845-1848.
