Egg Iceland ( aleutian: Ugalĝa ) is an uninhabited island in the Fox Islands and part of the Aleutian Islands. It lies at the eastern end of Sedanka Iceland and is 1.3 km ². Egg Iceland is the easternmost island of the Aleutians West Census Area. The island is home to the largest known colony of Tufted Lunden.

The name " Egg Island " comes from the Russian navigator Gavriil Andreevich Sarytschew. He discovered the small island in 1826 on an expedition to map the northern Pacific on behalf of the Russian Navy. However, it is not certain whether Sarichev took over the Russian names of Egg Iceland, " Ostrov Ugalgan " or " Ugalgan Iceland ", from the cards Krenitzins.
