The Goudier Island is an island in the southeast of the Palmer Archipelago west of the Antarctic Peninsula. It is located in front of Wiencke Island in the natural harbor of Port Lockroy. The rocky island is the site of a small Antarctic station. The Goudier Island also serves as a nesting ground for gentoo penguins.

The research station Port Lockroy was founded in 1944 on the Goudier Island and 1962 closed again. The buildings were restored in 1996 and since then serve as a focal destination for cruise ship tourism. There is a small museum operated and at times the only ( claims to ) post office in Antarctica.
